Question

In the following sentence, identify the incorrect part, if there is no error choose option E.

The ability to control (A) the plots of our dreams is (B) a skill, researchers have shown (C), that we can learn if you want (D) to change recurrent dreams. No error (E)

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D
• E. E

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

D

The error is in (D). The second-person pronoun 'you' used in the sentence is wrongly used. The first-person plural 'we' should be used to make it consistent with the earlier use of 'we.

'To control' is correctly used modifying the noun 'The ability'.

'Have shown' is the correct tense used as the action has already taken place.

'Is' agrees with its singular subject.

Thus, option D is the correct choice.
