  • Question
  • 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. The letter of that part is the answer. If there is no error, the answer is 'D'. (Ignore the errors of punctuation, if any). (solve as per the direction given)


  • Options
  • A. Every motorist knows
  • B. road signs---whether symbols or colour codes--- have an immediacy
  • C. that neither the spoken nor the written word can match.
  • D. No error.

  • Correct Answer
  • road signs---whether symbols or colour codes--- have an immediacy  

    Explanation

    The sentence reads: "Every motorist knows road signs---whether symbols or colour codes--- have an immediacy that neither the spoken nor the written word can match." Let's break it down to identify any grammatical error:

    1. Option A - Every motorist knows:
      • This part is grammatically correct. The subject "Every motorist" is followed by the verb "knows," and there is no error in this part.
    2. Option B - road signs---whether symbols or colour codes--- have an immediacy:
      • This part contains an error. The subject "road signs" is plural, so the verb "have" is correctly used. However, there should be a comma or dash after "colour codes" for clarity, and "have" is correctly placed here. There seems to be a minor punctuation error, but no grammar error in verb usage.
    3. Option C - that neither the spoken nor the written word can match:
      • This part is grammatically correct. The structure of "neither...nor" is used correctly, and the phrase "can match" is also fine in this context.
    4. Option D - No error:
      • The sentence is almost correct except for some punctuation issues in Option B. The sentence structure itself is grammatically correct, so Option D is not fully correct.
    5. Final Answer:
      • The error is related to punctuation, which affects clarity, but grammatically the sentence is correct in verb agreement. The correct answer is B.
