Question

My grandmother's legacy is substantial, especially if the value of the rare stamps are taken into consideration.

Choose the option that indicates the error in the sentence.

• A. Is
• B. Especially
• C. Are
• D. Into
• E. No error

Answer 1

The correct option is C Are

Here, the subject is 'the value' which is singular. So, it requires a singular verb. 'Are' is a plural verb, so it is incorrect. It should be replaced by 'is'. Let's not get confused with rare stamps as that is not the subject here, 'the value' is. That makes option C the correct option as it indicates the error in the sentence. The rest of the sentence is correct.
