Question

Identify which segment of the following sentence has an error, choose option 4 if there is no error. One of my /A............. friends are going/B........... to London next week/C.

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. no error

Hint:

When using "one of," the verb must agree with "one," which is singular. Use "is" instead of "are."

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Error Identification. The sentence refers to "one" friend, a singular subject. Consequently, the plural verb "are" must be changed to the singular "is."

Step 2: Option Analysis.

• (A) Correct. "One" is singular and requires a singular verb.
• (B) Contains the error. The plural verb "are" is used with the singular subject "one." The correct form is "is."
• (C) Correct. The phrase "going to London next week" is grammatically sound.
• (D) Incorrect. An error exists in the sentence.

Step 3: Conclusion. The error is in segment (B). The verb should be "is" instead of "are."
