Question : Directions: In the following question, out of the four alternatives, select the alternative that will improve the bracketed part of the sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select "No Improvement".
The red and (the white rose) looks beautiful.
(1) white rose
(2) a white rose
(3) an white rose
(4) No Improvement
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 1
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
Explanation : The phrase "the white rose" should be replaced with "white rose". The sentence has "looks", which is the singular verb implying that the subject is singular, i.e., a single rose of red and white colour. There is an error in the use of "the" article in the sentence with reference to subject-verb agreement.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "The red and white rose looks beautiful."
