Which one of the following sentences has an error in it? I. My Father is a honest man. II. My Father is an honest man. III. My Father is one of the honest men. IV. My Father is honest. Correct Answer I

The correct answer is I. 

Key Points

  • Sentence I has an error in it. The word 'honest' begins with the sound of a vowel even though it actually begins with a consonant. 
    • Thus, 'honest' must take the article 'an' before it as it describes the noun 'man'. 
    • Correct sentence: My Father is an honest man.
  • Sentence II is grammatically correct.   
  • Sentence III is also correct since it says that my father is one of the many honest men. Hence, the plural form 'men' is used here. 
  • Sentence IV is also grammatically correct. Here, 'honest' is not followed by any noun and thus, it describes the subject 'my father'. Since 'honest' is an adjective, it will not take an article. 
  • Hence, the sentence given in option 1) is grammatically incorrect.

Thus men are considered more culpable in business failings, and that women are more nurturing than men, which makes them more at fault in actions that harm or disappoint others. Q. The findings expose some of society’s most rigidly ingrained stereotypes — that men are more competent than women. R. By contrast, the study also found a reverse gender bias in the public’s perception of business leadership: women leaders faced less flack for failures of competence than men. S. The findings are part of a broader slew of recent research focused both on evaluating the performance of male versus female business leaders (women tend to come out on top), as well as the public perception of male leaders v/s female leaders. 6. Perhaps, slowly, we’re realizing men should be as responsible for ethical conduct as women — which means we may not be far off from considering women just as competent as men.
