Question

Which of the phrase given below the sentence should replace the word/phrase given in underline in the sentence to make it grammatically correct? If the sentence is correct as it is given and no correction is required, select 'No correction required' as the answer.
We must treat any statement as a rumour until they are confirmed with proof.

• A. till they are confirmed
• B. until they are confirming
• C. until it is confirmed
• D. until it is confirming
• E. No correction required

Answer 1

The correct option is C until it is confirmed

'Any statement' is singular. Hence, 'they' should not be used with it but 'it' is correct replacement here.
E.g. We won't leave the place until it is evening.
