Question

A sentence is divided into three parts. Choose the incorrect part. If no error is in the sentence, choose the option (D).

• A. A committee was established in the year
• B. 1967 and dissolved in
• C. 1985 as a measures of economy
• D. No error

Hint:

Keep a sharp eye out for simple noun-number agreement errors! You can never say "a boys", "a cars", or "a measures". The indefinite article "a" demands a completely singular noun right after it ("a measure").

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: This question tests your command over basic grammatical determination and noun number agreement. In English syntax, when a singular indefinite article (

``a'' or

``an'') is introduced, any noun it modifies must strictly be in its singular form to preserve noun-modifier agreement.

Detailed Error Analysis:

• Let's review Part (C) of the sentence carefully: ``1985 as

a measures of economy''.

• The word

``a'' is a singular indefinite article, which means it can only point to exactly one entity.

• The word

``measures'' is a plural countable noun (indicated by the -s suffix).

• Placing

``a'' directly before the plural noun

``measures'' creates an absolute grammatical mismatch.

• Correction: The sentence must either read ``as

a measure of economy'' (using singular form) or drop the article entirely if plural operations were implied. In this contextual case, the singular idiom ``as a measure of economy'' (meaning an action done to save money) is the correct expression.

Analysis of Parts:

• Part (A) is correct: ``A committee was established in the year'' contains perfect subject-verb agreement (singular noun 'committee' paired with singular past passive verb 'was established').

• Part (B) is correct: ``1967 and dissolved in'' correctly uses parallel structure, maintaining the past passive voice pattern (was established... and [was] dissolved).

• Part (C) is incorrect: It hosts the article-noun conflict (a measures). Hence, this is the error zone.

• Option (D) is incorrect because a clear error exists in section C.
