Select the segment of the sentence that contains grammatical error. If there is no error, mark 'No error'. At the same time many of the gentry (a) / was won by his undoubted sincerity (b) / and devotedness as well as by his eloquence. (c) / No error (d) Correct Answer b
The correct answer is option 2) i.e. b.
- The auxiliary verb 'was' used in the part 'b' of the given sentence is wrong.
- The noun 'gentry' used in the part 'a' of the given sentence is a plural noun, hence, the plural verb 'were' will be used with it.
- So, the correct sentence will be: At the same time many of the gentry were won by his undoubted sincerity and devotedness as well as by his eloquence.
