      Question

      In the following questions, a sentence is divided into

      four parts. Choose the part of the sentence which may contain a grammatical error in it. If all the parts of the sentence are grammatically correct and contextually meaningful, choose option “no error” as your answer choice. The committee, after reviewing the financial projections and the recommendations submitted by the advisory panel, (A)/ has concluded (B)/ that the proposal require further deliberation (C)/ before approval. (D)
      A A Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The sentence states that the committee has concluded something, and the error lies in the clause beginning with “that the proposal require further deliberation.” In this clause, the subject is “the proposal,” which is singular. However, the verb used is “require,” which is plural. According to the rules of subject–verb agreement, a singular subject must take a singular verb. The long descriptive phrase before this clause distracts the reader, but it does not change the grammatical relationship between the subject and the verb. The correct verb form should be “requires,” which makes option (c) the correct answer.
