Question

Identify the error in the sentence:
A lakh rupees are a lot of money. [Basic]

• A. A
• B. are
• C. a lot of
• D. money

Answer 1

The correct option is B are

When a plural noun denotes a particular amount or quantity considered as a whole, the verb used is usually singular.

In the given sentence, 'A lakh rupees' is considered as a whole thus, 'are' helping verb used is wrong according to the rule.

'Is' should be used instead of 'are'. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
