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. In modern era, man have (1)/ become master artist (2)/ in doing wrong things. (3)/ No error (4)?

Option 1 : 1

The correct answer is '1', i.e. the error lies in this part.

• The error lies in the incorrect usage of the auxiliary verb 'have'.
• The subject of the sentence i.e. 'man' is singular therefore, the verb will also be singular according to subject-verb agreement.
• Thus, 'have' needs to be replaced with 'has'.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: In modern era, man has become master artist in doing wrong things.

• Subject-verb agreement: It states that if the subject is singular then the corresponding verb will be singular and if the subject is plural then the corresponding verb will also be plural.
  • Example:
    • He is planning a trip to Manali. 
    • They are planning a trip to Manali.
