Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence have errors, and some are correct. Find out which part of the sentence has an error. The number of that part is the answer. If a sentence is error-free, your answer is "No Error".
The Management Committee (1) / was divided (2) / in their opinion. (3) / No Error (4)
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 2
Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence marked by the second option.
As per subject-verb agreement, their is a plural pronoun, and the helping verb was should be replaced with were to make the sentence grammatically correct. When a collective noun acts as an individual unit, it is treated as a singular noun, but when we are referring to the individual members in a group, it will be followed by a plural verb.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "The Management Committee were divided in their opinion."
