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."
The lions kill the animals and eat his meat.
(1) The lions
(2) and eat his meat
(3) kill the animals
(4) No error
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The error is in the second option : eat his meat.
The part "and eat his meat" contains an error. The possessive adjective "his" is used to indicate that something belongs to or relates to a male and is not used with the plural form of animals . Instead, the plural pronoun "their" is used in the correct context to match the plural noun "animals".
Therefore, the correct sentence should be "The lions kill the animals and eat their meat".
