Identify the incorrect sentence.
Most of tea sold in America comes from India.
The task is to find the one sentence that is grammatically incorrect, so each option must be tested for a structural fault.
The rule at work is that a specific, defined quantity introduced by 'most of' takes the definite article 'the' before the noun, as in 'most of the water', 'most of the people'.
Option 1 reads 'Most of tea sold in America comes from India', where 'the' is missing before 'tea', which is here a particular, specified body of tea.
The corrected form is 'Most of the tea sold in America comes from India', which restores the required article.
'Every student has to take the preliminary test' is correct, as 'every' takes a singular verb and noun.
'Beena is my sister's best friend' and 'The principles of science are difficult to understand' are both complete and correctly formed.
Hence the grammatically incorrect sentence is Most of tea sold in America comes from India.
