Question

The following sentence has not been edited. There is one error in the line. Select the option that has the incorrect word and the correction against it.

There are no hope for the future.

• A. Incorrect= are, Correct= has being
• B. Incorrect= there, Correct= they
• C. Incorrect= future, Correct= futures
• D. Incorrect = are, Correct = is

Answer 1

The correct option is D Incorrect = are, Correct = is

Here, 'future' is the subject and it is used in singular form. So, the verb also needs to be in the singular form. The incorrect word in this sentence is 'are' because the noun 'hope' is not plural. This eliminates options B) and C). Option A) is incorrect because 'has being' is grammatically incorrect in this context. Therefore, the correct answer is option D) incorrect= are, correct= is.
