Question : In the following question, some parts of the sentences have errors and some are correct. Find out which part of a sentence has an error. The number of that part is the answer. If a sentence is free from error, your answer is "No Error".

The behaviour of young (1) / boys are the subject of (2) / comment the world over. (3) / No Error (4)

Option 1: (1)

Option 2: (2)

Option 3: (3)

Option 4: (4)

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The correct choice is the second option

The reason for the error is the subject-verb agreement. The subject "behaviour of young boys" is singular, so the verb should also be singular, which is "is" instead of "are".

Therefore, the correct sentence is: The behaviour of young boys is the subject of comment the world over.

Option 1: P/R

Option 2: C/O

Option 3: R/J

Option 4: O/C

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: O/C

Here, each term has two parts nominator and denominator. In the given series subtract 2 from the nominator and subtract 4 from the denominator to get the missing term.
W – 2 = U, U – 2 = S, S – 2 = Q, Q – 2 = O;
S – 4 = O, O – 4 = K, K – 4 = G, G – 4 = C.

So, the required missing term is O/C. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
