Correct Answer: 1


Solution : The error lies in the first part of the sentence.

The verb "have" should be replaced with "has" to convey the intended meaning that Suresh has never supported or allowed violence. The subject, in this case, "Suresh" is a singular noun, so it should be followed by the singular verb according to the subject-verb agreement. Thus, "has" is the correct singular form to be used.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Suresh has never encouraged nor condoned violence."
