Question : Directions: Improve the bracketed part of each sentence.
(This market were) crowded with people.
(1) This markets were
(2) These market were
(3) This market was
(4) No Improvement
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The first option is the correct choice.
The original sentence has an error in the subject-verb agreement since the singular subject "market" should be followed by the singular verb.
In this case, "This market" is singular, so it should be paired with a singular verb "was" instead of the plural verb "were". Additionally, since a singular market is being talked about, the correct demonstrative pronoun to be used is "this".
Therefore, the correct sentence is: This market was crowded with people.
