Question

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

[A] The next generation of commercial airplanes

[B] are expected to be faster
[C] less fuel-thirsty and

[D] more fully computerized than the present one.

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

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

B

The given sentence speaks about 'the next generation of commercial airplanes'. When we use the word 'generation', we are referring to something that is singular even though the object being spoken about is in plural for eg. 'airplanes' in the given sentence. So, the verb used must be 'is' and not 'are' as in part [B] of the sentence. Therefore, the incorrect part of the sentence is option (B).
