Question
If any Governor believed that he had (1)/many say in
the matter of fixing a date for the Speaker’s election, (2)/it is both contrary to the constitutional scheme (3)/and a sign of playing a politically partisan role (4). Directions (Q77- Q83): 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
Since the noun is uncountable, ‘many’ is incorrect. It should be ‘much’. Here, ‘any’ also can be correct. If any Governor believed that he had any say in the matter of fixing a date for the Speaker’s election, it is both contrary to the constitutional scheme and a sign of playing a politically partisan role.
