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'.

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’.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

I am not scared (a)/ to be travelling (b)/ in the dark (c)/ alone at night. (d)

Scare is followed by preposition ‘of’. So 'of travelling' should be used.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

On discovering that (a)/ it was a forgery (b)/ he torn up the agreement (c)/ he had signed. (d)

Replace ‘torn’ with ‘tore’

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

While (a)/ a strong defend (b)/ is important to any country it cannot be more important than the livelihood (c)/ of its citizens. (d)

‘Strong’ is an adjective so the word following it should logically be a noun, ‘defend’ is a verb, the right answer will be ‘defence’.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

Many people believe that (a)/ the nationalisation of banks in (b)/ the 1960s have protected India (c)/ from the current financial crisis. (d)

It should be ‘has’ in place of ‘have’ in the third part of the sentence because the subject is nationalisation.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

The reason behind his success (a)/ in the recent past (b)/ is due to hard work (c)/ and presence of mind. (d)

Delete ‘due to’ from the third part of the sentence.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

Krishna ran to the (a)/ nearing grocery store to (b)/ buy biscuits as his parents (c)/ were expecting guests. (d)

Instead of the phrase ‘nearing grocery store to’ we should use ‘near by grocery store to’.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

Sheela had to travel all the way back (a)/ when she remembered that (b)/ she had forgot to take (c)/ important document with her. (d)

It should be ‘forgotten’ in place of ‘forgot’ in the third part of the sentence because have, has or had is folowed by the past participle form of verb.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

Video-games may not (a)/ necessarily adversely affect (b)/ the academic results in children, (c)/ contrary to most parents’ perception. (d)

It should be ‘of’ in place of ‘in’ in the third part of the sentence.
