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”. It has been said (1)/ that the pyramids (2)/ was built a long time ago.(3)/ No error (4)?

Option 3 : 3

The correct answer is '3' i.e. error lies in this part of the sentence

In part 3 of the sentence, the usage of 'was' is incorrect Instead, use 'were'

• According to the subject-verb agreement rule, whenever the subject of the sentence is 'plural' we need to use a plural verb hence 'that' is a conjunction that makes a clause in which the subject is given in a plural form which is 'the pyramids' hence we need to use a plural verb i.e. 'were'

So the correct sentence is- It has been said that the pyramids were built a long time ago.
