Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence have errors, and some are correct. Find out which part of the sentence has an error. The number of that part is the answer. If a sentence is error-free, your answer is "No Error."
Either of the roads (1) / lead (2) / to the park. (3) / No Error (4)
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The error is in the second part as "lead" is used, which is a plural verb form. However, "either" is followed by the singular form of the verb. So, "leads" (singular form) should be used instead of "lead" (plural form) to maintain the subject-verb agreement.
Therefore, the correct sentence is "Either of the roads leads to the park".
