Question : The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
It is take / a couple of minutes / for the computer / to boot up.
Option 1: for the computer
Option 2: to boot up
Option 3: a couple of minutes
Option 4: It is take
Correct Answer: It is take
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.
Explanation : The verb "take" in the segment "It is take" does not agree with the singular subject "It". In English, when the subject is a singular pronoun like "it", the correct form of the verb "take" should be the singular form "takes".
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "It takes a couple of minutes for the computer to boot up."
