In the following question, four statements are given which are based on the same or different theme and may or may not contain an error. Choose the one that is grammatically and meaningfully incorrect.
1.The Swedish activist, Greta Thunberg's name is synonymous with the fight to save the planet.
2.Identity, boundaries and existence is some of the big themes addressed in the work of Shiota Chiharu.
3.Scientists suggest that the language we learn to count in could impact our numerical ability.
4.Nowadays, loss of biodiversity is such an incomprehensible challenge that the solutions need to be extraordinary.
5.None of these
Correct Answer : 2
Solution :
Option b) is incorrect on the grounds of subject-verb disagreement; three subjects namely 'identity', 'boundaries' and 'existence' are qualified by a singular verb, 'is', which is incorrect; the plural verb 'are' should have been used. The correct usage is, "Identity, boundaries and existence are some of the big themes addressed in the work of Shiota Chiharu." Hence, b) is the correct answer.
