      the grammatical error.Ā  Several dozens councillors walked out of the meeting in protest.
      A Several dozens councillors Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B walked out Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C of the meeting Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D in protest Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The grammatical error of the sentence is in option A. Some nouns have the same form in the singular as well as plural. Here, the singular and plural form of the noun ā€˜dozen’ is the same. Also, ā€˜dozen’ should be followed with a plural noun. Thus, replace ā€œdozens councillorsā€ with ā€œdozen councillorsā€ to make the sentence grammatically correct. Correct sentence: Several dozen councillors walked out of the meeting in protest.
