Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence may have some errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If the sentence is free from error, select "No error".
Either Parmeet (1) / or Jyoti (2) / have done the crime. (3) / No error (4)
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.
There is a subject-verb agreement error in the sentence. In the case of "either.....or", the verb should agree with the subject closest to it. Since Jyoti is a singular subject it should agree with the singular verb "has". Thus, it should be has done the crime instead of have done the crime.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: Either Parmeet or Jyoti has done the crime .
