The given sentence is divided into four segments. Select the option that has the segment with the grammatical error.
My daughter participate / in the dance competition / that is organised every year / by the Lion’s Club.
Correct Answer :
My daughter participate
Solution :
The correct answer is My daughter participate.
Explanation:
The sentence contains an error in subject-verb agreement in the first segment: "My daughter participate".
1. The subject of the sentence is "My daughter", which is a third-person singular noun.
2. According to the rules of simple present tense, a singular subject requires a singular verb ending in '-s' or '-es' (e.g., "participates").
3. Therefore, the base verb form "participate" is grammatically incorrect here and should be replaced with "participates".
Corrected Sentence:
"My daughter participates in the dance competition that is organised every year by the Lion’s Club."
