Question
You are presented with a sentence which is divided into
five parts. The part in bold is grammatically correct. Out of the remaining four parts, three are grammatically incorrect and one is error free. You have to identify the part that is grammatically correct and mark the answer accordingly. If all the parts are grammatically correct then mark 'no error' as your answer. (A) With wild tigers slow (B) disappearing, it has been possible that (C) someday the only tigers left can (D) be those hold in captivity (E) in zoos around the world.Solution
Part A - adverb form of slow (slowly) should be used. Part B - 'has been' is used to indicate something that started in the past and continues in the present, which does not fit into the context here; 'it is possible' would be correct fit. Part C - 'will be those' should be used as the sentence refers to the future. Part D - past participle of hold (held) should be used as the sentence is in past tense. Hence all parts are incorrect grammatically; option e is the correct choice.
