Question : Find the part of the given sentence that has an error in it. If there is no error, choose 'No Error'.
The 1918 influenza pandemic sweep the world within months.
Option 1: No Error
Option 2: world within months
Option 3: pandemic sweep the
Option 4: The 1918 influenza
Correct Answer: pandemic sweep the
Solution : The error lies in the third option.
Explanation : The error in the sentence is the verb tense. "Sweep" should be in the past tense to match the time frame of the sentence.
To maintain proper verb-tense agreement, swept (past tense of "sweep") should be used instead of sweep. This adjustment ensures the sentence aligns with the past timeframe of the pandemic.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "The 1918 influenza pandemic swept the world within months."
