Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

River water pollution (a)/ is often indicate (b)/ by algae (c)/ distribution (d).

The sentence is in the passive voice so the form (is + third) form of verb will be used. Therefore it must be indicated and not indicate.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

With regard to implementation, the (a)/ details of the proposal (b)/ the committee was (c)/ divided in its opinion. (d)

Replace ‘was’ with ‘were’.In collective nouns (committee, audience, government, etc) we use singular if referring to an entity.'Committee' is used as a plural noun here, since each one has a different opinion.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

Ram asked (a)/ would I go (b)/ to the college (c)/ with him. (d)

It is a question in the reported speech, so there must be an ‘if’ before I. The right sentence will be 'Ram asked if I would go.'

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

Inspite that organisations are aware (a)/ of the importance of IT (b)/ they often do not know (c)/ how to deploy it effectively. (d)

The correct phrase is ‘Inspite of’. So part one of the sentence should be written as 'Inspite of organisations are aware'.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

Human babies whose mothers (a)/ have had the flu while pregnant may (b)/ have a greater risk of developing (c)/ schizophrenia lately in life. (d)

The use of ‘had’ in the second part of the sentence is super flows. It should be avoided.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

Both (a)/ personality and external looking (b)/ vary greatly even among (c)/ brothers and sisters. (d)

The usage ‘external looking’ is incorrect, ‘looking’ is a verb and means ‘to look at’ while here it should be a noun so external ‘looks’.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

The only bad thing about (a)/ these flowers are the (b)/ pollen which causes (c)/ allergy in many people. (d)

It should be ‘is’ in place of ‘are’ in the second part of the sentence because the subject ‘The only bad thing’ is a singular subject.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

A time sheet diary is to be (a)/ maintained by every actor, since (b)/ producers constantly complain that they are (c)/ forced shooting for late hours because actors come very late. (d)

It should be ‘to shoot’ in place of ‘shooting’ in the fourth part of the sentence.

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?

I will give (a)/ you the advance (b)/ if you repay it as (c)/ soon as possibly. (d)

Replace 'possibly' with 'possible'
