Question : Directions: In the following question, the given sentence has four parts marked P, Q, R, and S. Choose the part of the sentence with the error and select it as your answer. If there is no error, select "No Error (S)" as your answer.
The behaviour of resident spiders (P) / towards pirate spiders and their own prey (Q) / are quite different. (R) / No Error (S)
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 3
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
Explanation: There is an error in the subject-verb agreement in the sentence. The verb are should be replaced with is to convey the intended meaning that the way resident spiders act or behave towards pirate spiders and their prey is not the same.
In this sentence, the subject behaviour is singular, and thus, the verb form to use should also be singular, which is "is".
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "The behaviour of resident spiders towards pirate spiders and their prey is quite different."
