Question : Find the part of the given sentence that has an error in it. If there is no error, choose 'No Error'.
David said that statistics are his favourite subject.
Option 1: David said that
Option 2: favourite subject
Option 3: No Error
Option 4: statistics are his
Correct Answer: statistics are his
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option .
There is an error in the part "statistics are his" of the given sentence. It is related to the subject-verb agreement. The word "statistics" is technically a plural noun, but when it refers to the academic field or subject, it is treated as a singular noun.
Here, the singular verb "is" agrees with the singular subject "statistics" in the context of it being a field of study rather than multiple individual pieces of data.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "David said that statistics is his favourite subject."
