Question : Directions: Read the sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical or idiomatic error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The number of that part is the answer. If there is no error, the answer is (4).
Mr. Gupta, with his wife, (1) / and his younger brother (2) / was present at the station. (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.
"Was" in the sentence should be replaced with "were" to follow the subject-verb agreement. The plural subject is followed by the plural verb. "Mr Gupta with his wife, and his younger brother" are plural subjects, so they should be followed by a plural verb.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Mr. Gupta, with his wife, and his younger brother were present at the station."
