Key Points
Sentence A: 'Fruits of governance' should be there in place of 'Fruit of governance'
- 'fruit' is an uncountable noun when we attach 's' with it, it doesn't become plural of fruit.
- Fruits mean an outcome or result, here as per the context of the sentence we are trying to say an outcome or result. So we must replace 'fruit' with 'fruits'.
- The fruits or the fruit of someone's work or activity are the good things that result from it.
Examples: The team has really worked hard and is enjoying the fruits of that labour.
The findings are the fruit of more than three years' research. - Since there is a possessive case after 'of', we will use 'fruits'
Sentence B: 'Prime minister' should be there in place of 'The prime minister'
Correct Sentence A: The PM said, “Our government is working tirelessly to reach the last person in the society and to bring the fruits of governance and development to him”.
Correct Sentence B: The Prime Minister said his government was unlocking the heritage tourism potential in India through the development of the Ganga ghats in Varanasi and the Kashi Vishwanath Dham project.
Additional Information
- Cardinal numbers such as one, two, and three do not take an article before them.
Example: Chapter two of this book is very difficult. - In sentence C, 'Government' is a collective noun, so a singular verb is used. So it is correct.
