Question

Choose the segment with the error. If there is no error, choose option 4.

Idli and Sambar/1 make the breakfast/2 in the South./3

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

Hint:

When two food items joined by "and" name one combined dish, the verb must be singular.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Identify the subject of the sentence.
The subject is "Idli and Sambar." When two food items joined by "and" are being talked about as one combined dish, they are treated as a single unit, not as two separate items.

Step 2: Check the verb that goes with this subject.
Since "Idli and Sambar" acts as one single breakfast item here, the verb must be singular. The correct verb should be "makes," not "make."

Step 3: Locate where this error sits.
Segment 2 reads "make the breakfast." This is where the wrong verb form appears, so the error is in segment 2.

Step 4: Check the other segments for errors.
Segment 1, "Idli and Sambar," is just naming the subject correctly. Segment 3, "in the South," is a normal place phrase with nothing wrong. So both are error free.

Final Answer:
The verb error sits in segment 2, so option B is correct. \[ \boxed{\text{Option B}} \]
