Parts of the following sentence have been given as options. Select the option that contains an error.
Himalayas include the highest mountains in the world and feed almost 20% of the earth’s population.
Correct Answer :
Himalayas include the
Solution :
The correct option that contains a grammatical error is Himalayas include the.
Detailed Explanation:
In English grammar, names of mountain ranges (such as Himalayas, Alps, Andes, Rockies) are definite geographical features and must always be preceded by the definite article 'the'.
In the given sentence, "Himalayas" is used without the article 'the', which makes it grammatically incorrect. The sentence should begin with "The Himalayas include...".
Therefore, the error lies in the part "Himalayas include the".
