The following sentence is broken into four parts and two may contain an error in them. Find out the combination which contains the error. If the sentence is free of error, mark 'No error'. The best advice anyone can give an (A) inexperienced writers are to write a first draft (B) as quickly as possible, as good books are not written (C), but rewritten and rewritten and rewritten. (D)?

Option 2 : AB

The correct answer is option 2.

The errors in the sentence are in parts A and B.

In part A, the indefinite article 'an' is the error as the object of the sentence, the inexperienced writers, is plural and not singular. It is also an unnecessary add-on in the sentence, so it can be skipped or omitted from the sentence.

In part B, the verb 'are' is incorrectly used as it indicates to the main subject of the sentence, the 'best advice' that is singular in form and not plural. Thus, the correct form of the verb to be used is 'is', not 'are'.

Thus, the sentence will results as follows:

"The best advice anyone can give inexperienced writers is to write a first draft as quickly as possible, as good books are not written, but rewritten and rewritten and rewritten."
