Question : Select the word segment that substitutes (replaces) the bracketed word segment correctly and completes the sentence meaningfully. Select the option 'No correction required' if the sentence is correct as given.
(Many man) have tried to find the caves but none have succeeded.
Option 1: Much man
Option 2: No correction required
Option 3: Many a man
Option 4: Many a men
Correct Answer: Many a man
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
Explanation:
The original sentence uses "many man", which is grammatically incorrect. When expressing the idea of multiple individuals in this context, the correct form is "many a man", indicating a multitude of individual men. The use of "many a" is a set phrase that is followed by a singular noun, and it conveys the sense of a considerable number of individuals.
So, the correct sentence would be: Many a man has tried to find the caves, but none have succeeded.
