[A] To this day, the theorem Pythagoras

[B] remains the very important single theorem

[C] in the realm of mathematics

[D] including algebra, geometry and trigonometry.

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

Answer 1

The correct option is B B

The sentence given talks about the Pythagoras theorem. Part [B] of the sentence talks about theorem as 'the very important single theorem' which is grammatically incorrect. To understand this, we need to first understand the difference between 'very' and 'most'. 'Most' is actually an adjective that is used to describe a noun, whereas 'very' is an adverb that describes a verb or adjective further.

In part [B] of the sentence, 'very' is used as an adjective to describe the 'important single theorem' which is incorrect. The right word to use is 'most' which describes that the 'important single theorem' is 'most' important.

Therefore, the incorrect part of the sentence is part [B] and the correct answer is option (B).

The other parts of the sentence are grammatically correct.
