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".
"The Arabian Nights" (1) / are indeed (2) / an interesting book. (3) / No Error (4)
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.
There is an error in the subject-verb agreement in the sentence. The book "The Arabian Nights" is a singular entity, and hence, the singular auxiliary verb ''is'' should be used to maintain the subject-verb agreement in the sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The Arabian Nights is indeed an interesting book.''
