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. Adversities provides an opportunity to develop character in (A)/ a natural, recurring and powerful manner, (B)/ which only the challenges of adversity offer (C)/ No error (D)?

Option 1 : A

The error lies in part A of the sentence. Thus, option 1 is correct.

The word ‘adversities’ is the plural of adversity and is here used as a plural subject. A plural subject needs a plural verb.

For example: The calamities are the adverse events resulting from the natural processes of the Earth.

Hence, ‘provides’ is incorrect and instead, ‘provide’ will be used.    

CORRECT SENTENCE:

Adversities provide an opportunity to develop character in a natural, recurring and powerful manner, which only the         challenges of adversity offer.
