Which of the following words/phrases given below in the options should replace the phrase printed in bold in the sentence to make it grammatically correct? If the sentence is correct as it is given then mark 'no error'. They have gone ahead with the plan, although their is a widespread public opposition. Correct Answer although there is
The word ‘their’ refers to someone or something which has been previously mentioned. The word 'there' refers to a place or position. We can clearly see that the word 'their' has been incorrectly used in the sentence. Therefore the options 'though their is' is omitted. The word 'although' means 'in spite of the fact' and the word 'though' means 'despite the fact that'. Out of these two, the most appropriate word to use in the sentence is 'although'. Therefore the option 'though there is' also omitted, making 'although there is' as the correct answer.
