Question : Identify the segment in the sentence which contains a grammatical error.
He is over eighty and dare not read without glasses.
Option 1: over eighty and
Option 2: dare not read
Option 3: He is
Option 4: without glasses
Correct Answer: dare not read
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
Explanation : The error lies in the subject-verb agreement. The subject "he" requires the third-person singular form of the verb, which is "dares" in this case. The original sentence uses the plural form "dare", which is incorrect in this context. The correct sentence should maintain proper subject-verb agreement by using "dares".
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "He is over eighty and dares not read without glasses."
