Banking Exams English — Question 1863
Question
Identify the part of the sentence that contains an error: 'Every men and woman (A)/ present in the hall was (B)/ greeted warmly by the host. (C)/ No error (D)'
- Every men and woman
- present in the hall was
- greeted warmly by the host.
- No error
Correct answer
A — Every men and woman
Explanation (English)
'Every' is followed by a singular noun, so 'Every men' is wrong; it must be 'Every man and woman'. The verb 'was' correctly agrees with the singular subject, so part (B) is fine.
