Question

Identify the error in the sentence:
Politics was and is his passion. [Intermediate]

• A. was
• B. and
• C. is
• D. No error

Answer 1

The correct option is D No error

When a plural noun is a proper name for a singular object or collective unit, a singular verb is used and vice versa. In the given sentence, 'Politics' is denoted as a singular object. 'Was' is a singular verb. 'Is' is also a singular verb. 'And' is the correct conjunction used to join two sentences with equal importance.

Thus, the given sentence is without any error. Hence, option D is the correct answer.
