In each of the questions given below, four sentences have been given . Out of four sentences, one sentence has an error. Find out which of the following sentences has an error . If all the given sentences are error-free then choose option ‘All are correct’ as your answer choice.
Correct Answer :
When you invents a device, you create something that never existed before.
Solution :
The correct option containing an error is: "When you invents a device, you create something that never existed before."
Step-by-Step Explanation:
1. Identify Subject-Verb Agreement:
In English grammar, the verb must agree with its subject in number and person. The pronoun "you" functions as a second-person subject (both singular and plural) and takes a plural verb form in the simple present tense.
2. Analyze the Error:
In the clause "When you invents a device", the subject is "you", but the verb used is "invents", which is a third-person singular form (used with he, she, it).
3. Correct Form:
The simple present tense verb for "you" should be "invent" without the final 's'.
• Incorrect: When you invents...
• Correct: When you invent...
4. Verification of Other Sentences:
• "Rain falls when water droplets in clouds grow heavy enough to descend." — Correct grammar and subject-verb agreement.
• "Norway supports a wide range of initiatives for the protection of marine ecosystems." — Correct structure and preposition usage.
• "Fiber optic transmission offers high speed and low latency." — Correct subject-verb agreement and noun phrase usage.
