In the following questions, one part of the sentence may have an error. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and click the option corresponding to it. If the sentence is free from error, click the 'No Error' option. Passionate writing does (P)/ not by itself (Q) /makes great literature (R)/ No error (S).  Correct Answer R

The error lies in part R of the question. Therefore the correct answer is option 3.

In the given sentence, the present simple third person singular form of the verb 'do' i.e. 'does' is used with the subject 'Passionate writing'. Using the singular form of another verb (i.e. makes) when the singular auxiliary verb 'does' is already used for the same subject is grammatically incorrect. If another verb is to follow the auxiliary verb 'does' in a sentence, then that verb should be in the plural form.

For example-

Does he smoke very often? (not smokes)

She does make a valid argument. (not makes)

Correct Sentence- Passionate writing does not by itself make great literature.
 

Tip- Avoid using a singular verb (-s or -es form of a verb) with a subject after the verb 'does' is already used with it.
