Question

Following question consists of a sentence with three underlined parts labelled (a), (b) and (c). Read the sentence to find out whether there is any error in any underlined part. If you find no error, your response should be indicated as (d).
$\underset{\left(a\right)}{\underset{–}{\text{With regard to interior decoration, it is the attention given to the less overt aspects of}}}$ $\underset{–}{\text{using space}}$ $\underset{\left(b\right)}{\underset{–}{\text{that give it life, an identity, a quality}}}$ $\underset{\left(c\right)}{\underset{–}{\text{that makes it exciting and unusual}}}.$ $\underset{\left(d\right)}{\underset{–}{\text{No error}}}$

• A. (a)
• B. (b)
• C. (c)
• D. (d)

Answer 1

The correct option is B (b)

Option B is the correct answer because there is an error in part (b) of the sentence. Since the sentence is about a singular noun (attention) the usage of the verb 'give' is incorrect, instead it should be 'gives' according to the rules of subject-verb agreement.

Options A, B and D are incorrect because there are no errors other than the one already mentioned.
