Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

In 60’s Beatles, with (a)/ their haircuts, clothes and joking (b)/ drew (c)/ crowds of shrieking teenagers. (d)

It is a series of nouns-haircuts, clothes and ... ‘joking’ is a verb so the noun should be used in its place- Jokes.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

The act will be passed (a)/ with a comfortable majority if all (b)/ the partisans of (c)/ her group favours it. (d)

It should be ‘favour’ in place of ‘favours’ in the fourth part of the sentence because the subject ‘partisans’ is a plural subject.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

When (a)/ I came home, the (b)/ children still didn’t finish (c)/ dinner. (d)

The sentence refers to a time in the past, so the action has been completed in the past tense, which implies the tense of the verb would be past perfect so ‘hadn’t finish’ and not ‘didn’t finish’.

Majority of the banks (a)/ today uses technology (b)/ to reach out to those (c)/ living in rural areas. (d)

Replace ‘uses’ with ‘use’.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

He is one (a)/ of the shrewdest men (b)/ that is (c)/ in the administration. (d)

‘Shrewdest men’ is the subject for this auxiliary verb, hence it should be the plural ‘are’ not 'is'.

In my opinion (a)/ Vikas has (b)/ failed to follow (c)/ none of the instructions. (d)

Replace ‘None’ with ‘any’.

Alexander became a Sculptor (a noun that is a subject) not a sculpture which is an object.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

The prime minister announced (a)/ that the taxes will be (b)/ increasing from the (c)/ beginning of next year. (d)

It should be ‘increased’ in place of ‘increasing’ in the third part of the sentence because the second part of the sentence is in passive voice.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

She is the teacher (a)/ whom I know (b)/ has helped my son (c)/ in the examination. (d)

It should be ‘who’ in place of ‘whom’ in the second part of the sentence.
