Question

Select the part of the sentence which has an error in it. If the sentence is correct, select ''No Error'':
(a) Molly speaks (b) French well, (c) isn't it? (d) No ERROR.

• A. a
• B. b
• C. c
• D. d

Answer 1

The correct option is C c

The option that has an error, is the correct option.
Option C: The error lies in part (c): 'isn't it'. The question tag 'isn't it' is erroneous.
Question tags are added at the end of statements to confirm the action done by the subject. So, the question tag is formed by the verb and the pronoun (that refers to the subject). The verb in a question tag is the auxiliary/helping verb, and if there isn't one, we use the implied verb.
The auxiliary for the verb 'speaks' is 'does'.
So, the question tag formed will be 'doesn't + she ('she' refers to Molly)'
Hence, the correction is 'doesn't she'.
Hence option C is the correct option with the error.
The other parts (a) and (b) do not have any error in them. They are grammatically correct and are complete in meaning.
Hence options A and B are not the right answers.
Option D is incorrect because the sentence has an error (c).
