Select the segment of the sentence that contains a grammatical error. If there is no error, mark 'No error'. One of the terrorists of the Kashmir valley are shot dead while he was trying to explode the caravan of army travelling through the valley. Correct Answer are shot dead while he was trying to explode
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. are shot dead while he was trying to explode.
One of the + plural noun + other words + singular noun.
In this construction ONE acts as the subject of the statement and ONE is considered as a singular noun so the verb should also be singular.
singular subject - singular verb
plural subject - plural verb
So, in this sentence we have to replace ARE with IS for making the sentence grammatically correct.
The correct sentence will be-
One of the terrorists of the Kashmir valley is shot dead while he was trying to explode the caravan of army travelling through the valley.
