Question : The following sentence has been divided into parts. One of them may contain an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options. If you don't find any error, mark 'No Error' as your answer.
If I was the President of India, / I would work / to ensure communal harmony.
Option 1: No Error
Option 2: to ensure communal harmony
Option 3: I would work
Option 4: If I was the President of India,
Correct Answer: If I was the President of India,
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.
In conditional sentences expressing unreal or hypothetical situations, the correct form is often "were" instead of "was" when using the subjunctive mood. So, the correct construction is "If I were the President of India."
This construction maintains proper grammar and conveys the hypothetical nature of the statement.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "If I were the President of India, I would work to ensure communal harmony."
