In the following, some part of the sentence may have errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If a sentence is free from error, select ‘No error’.
Whether the Congress erred in privileging members (1)/ of the old guard to lead the governments in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, (2)/ and Chhattisgarh have become a subject of debate. (3)/ No error (4)
The error lies due to wrong verb being used here.
‘have’ must be replaced with ‘has’. Since there is a single ‘subject of debate’, therefore singular form of verb must be used.
Correct sentence- ‘Whether the Congress erred in privileging members of the old guard to lead the governments in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh has become a subject of debate.’
