Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option D

no informations

no informations

Solution :

The correct option containing the error is no informations.

Step-by-Step Explanation:
1. Subject-Verb Agreement: The subject "Mr. Abhilash and his family" is a compound plural subject because it joins two noun phrases using the conjunction "and". The corresponding auxiliary verb "have received" is in the plural form, which is grammatically correct.
2. Noun Countability Rule: In English grammar, the noun "information" is classified as an uncountable (mass) noun. Uncountable nouns represent concepts or things that cannot be counted as individual units. Therefore, they do not have a plural form and cannot take the suffix "-s".
3. Identification of the Error: The use of "informations" in the segment "no informations" is grammatically incorrect. It must be written in its uncountable form, "information".
4. Corrected Sentence: "Mr. Abhilash and his family have received no information about the incident."
