Question
The amount of data stored (A)/were so vast that
(B)/even if we put a number on it, (C)/it would be beyond our comprehension (D). Read each sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. Mark the part with the error as your answer. If there is no error, mark ‘No error’ as your answer (Ignore the errors of punctuation, if any).Solution
Here, though ‘data’ is plural, ‘the amount’ is singular. Also, the sentence gives an insight of a thing that would happen, not something that has happened. So, ‘is’ is correct here. The amount of data stored is so vast that even if we put a number on it, it would be beyond our comprehension.
