Question : Identify the segment in the sentence which contains a grammatical error.
Our new secretary's performance have been quite impressive.
Option 1: secretary's performance
Option 2: Our new
Option 3: have been
Option 4: quite impressive
Correct Answer: have been
Solution : The grammatical error is in the third option.
Explanation : In the given sentence, there is a subject-verb agreement error. The subject, performance , is singular, but the verb, have been, is plural. To correct this, the verb should match the singular subject. The rest of the sentence, including our new secretary's performance, is structurally sound. The error lies specifically in the verb form.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "Our new secretary's performance has been quite impressive."
