Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence have errors, and some are correct. Find out which part of the sentence has an error. The number of that part is the answer. If a sentence is error-free, your answer is "No Error".
A large (1) / consignment of books (2) / are expected. (3) / No Error (4)
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 3
Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.
Explanation: The subject "consignment" is a singular noun, so the verb should also be singular. In this case, "is" is the correct singular verb form, making the sentence grammatically accurate. The incorrect form "are" is the plural verb form and it doesn't agree with the singular subject "consignment".
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "A large consignment of books is expected."
