In the following sentence, four words or phrases have been underlined. One of them is incorrect. Select the INCORRECT word or phrase from the given options. Three- killed and one was injured on the battlefield. Correct Answer Three killed

Option 1 is the right answer as it has an error.

When there are two subjects in a sentence and they are not quantified in the same number, then we must use separate auxiliaries (is, are, am, was, were, have, has) for both of them.

So 'three killed' should be written as 'three were killed' as it is a plural and needs a plural verb.

'One was injured' is used correctly, as it is a singular which needs a singular verb.

So the correct sentence should be-- Three were killed and one was injured.
