Question

The given sentence is divided into four segments. Select the option that has the segment with a grammatical error.
The general’s address / was applauds / by all sections / of society.

The correct answer is

was applauds

The sentence provided is:
"The general’s address / was applauds / by all sections / of society."
We need to identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
Steps to identify the error:
  1. Analyze each segment separately for grammatical correctness.
  2. Segment 1: "The general’s address" - This is grammatically correct as it represents a possessive noun indicating ownership.
  3. Segment 2: "was applauds" - This segment contains a grammatical error. The past participle form should be used after "was" to form the passive voice correctly. The correct form should be "was applauded".
  4. Segment 3: "by all sections" - This is grammatically correct as it indicates the doer of the action in a passive sentence.
  5. Segment 4: "of society" - This is also grammatically correct as it provides additional information about "all sections".
Therefore, the segment with the grammatical error is:

"was applauds"
