Question

Find out the error in the following sentence, if any. If there is no error, your answer is 'E'.
The Board of Directors (A) want all possible facilities (B) and allowances for (C) itself (D) No Error (E).

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D
• E. E

Answer 1

The correct option is B B

Let's examine the sentence "The Board of Directors want all possible facilities and allowances for itself." The verb of this sentence is 'want'. The subject is 'The Board of Directors', which is a singular unit; and by the rules of subject-verb-agreement, a singular subject must be followed by a singular verb. So, it should be 'wants' instead of want. Hence, there is an error in part B of the sentence. Thus, option B is correct.
