Directions (1-6):In the following questions, a sentence is divided into four parts. Choose the part of the sentence which may contain a grammatical error in it. If all the parts of the sentence are grammatically correct and contextually meaningful, choose option “no error” as your answer choice.
Sam enjoy spending his (A)/ evenings sitting and talking (B)/ with friends, finding (C)/ joy in conversations. (D)
Correct Answer :
A
Solution :
The correct option is A.
Step-by-step Explanation:
1. Identify the Subject and Verb: In part (A) of the sentence, the subject is "Sam" and the verb is "enjoy".
2. Analyze Subject-Verb Agreement: The subject "Sam" is a singular noun (third-person singular). Under the rules of subject-verb agreement, a singular subject in the simple present tense requires a singular verb.
3. Correct the Error: The base form "enjoy" is plural. The singular form of the verb is "enjoys". Therefore, "enjoy" must be corrected to "enjoys" to agree with the singular subject "Sam".
4. Resulting Sentence: The grammatically correct sentence is: "Sam enjoys spending his evenings sitting and talking with friends, finding joy in conversations."
