Question

Find the grammatically incorrect part of a sentence, if any.

[A] Along the northern border of India

[B] is seen the Himalayas

[C] tall, mighty and majestic

[D] in their unique splendour.

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D
• E. No Error

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

B

The given sentence talks about the Himalayas which is a collective noun for a group of mountains present in the North of India. However, since they are a 'group of mountains', we use the plural verb forms while talking about them. But, in part [B] of the sentence, 'is' is used instead of 'are' and therefore part [B] is the incorrect part of the sentence. Therefore, the correct answer is option (B).
