Question : The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.

There are some monkeys / on the roof of the / carriage but Madhav / did not see them.

Option 4: did not see them.

Team Careers360 · Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: There are some monkeys

Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation: The error lies in the tense inconsistency. The sentence describes a past event (did not see them), so the verb tense in the first segment should also be in the past. The correct verb should be "were" instead of "are" to maintain tense consistency.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "There were some monkeys on the roof of the carriage, but Madhav did not see them."
