Grammar

Easy

Pick the part of the sentence with grammatical mistakes/errors.
(A) The economist were of the opinion
(B) that the government should give longer times to farmers
(C) to pay the loan instead of waiving the entire farm loan
(D) as doing so is not good for credit culture
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

(A) and (B) only

(A) and (C) only

(B) and (C) only

Correct Option: 1

(A): "The economist were" is incorrect because singular subject "economist" doesn't agree with plural verb "were".

It should be either "The economist was" or "The economists were"

(B): "longer times" is incorrect usage. The proper phrase should be "more time"

Thus, required answer is: (A) and (B) only
