In the following question, one part of the sentence may have an error. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and click the option corresponding to it. If the sentence is free from error, click the no error option. Idli and sambhar  (A)/ are cooked in the mess of our hostel daily  (B)/ despite the fact that nobody likes to eat it. (C)/ No error.  (D)?

Option 3 : B

The error lies in part B of the sentence. Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

The error lies in part B of the sentence because the rule of subject-verb agreement is violated here. Subject-verb agreement: The subject-verb agreement rule says that if the subject is singular, its verb must also be singular; and if the subject is plural, its verb must also be plural.

when two nouns joined by and represent a single entity or emotion, the verb is kept as singular. So, ‘are’ should be replaced by ‘is’ in part B.

Thus, the correct sentence is-

Idli and sambhar is cooked in the mess of our hostel daily despite the fact that nobody likes to eat it.
