In the following question, some part of the sentence may have errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If a sentence is free from error, select 'No Error'. Most people (1)/ are unaware of the fact (2)/ that certain varieties of mushrooms is dangerous. (3)/ No Error (4)?

Option 3 : 3

The erroneous part is 3

• The error lies in Part 3 of the sentence.
• In the given sentence, the use of the plural verb 'is' is incorrect in this context.
• According to the 'Subject-Verb Agreement', a singular subject takes a singular verb.
  • Example: Boys are going to the party.
• According to the 'Subject-Verb Agreement', a plural subject takes a plural verb.
  • Example: That boy is going to the party.
• The subject 'certain varieties' is a plural subject and it will take a plural verb.
• Therefore, the use of the singular verb 'is' in Part 3 of the sentence should be replaced by a plural verb 'are'.
• Hence, the correct answer is '3'.
   

Correct sentence: Most people are unaware of the fact that certain varieties of mushrooms are dangerous.
