Question

Identify the incorrect sentence/s in the following :
(a) He found hundred rupees. 
(b) He is best player. 
(c) The Ganges is a river. 
(d) Shakespeare is greater than any other poets.

Accepted Answer

Option 4 is the correct answer because it identifies sentences (a), (b), and (d) as incorrect. Let's examine each sentence to understand why they are incorrect:

(a) "He found hundred rupees."  
This sentence is incorrect because it lacks the article "a" before "hundred." The correct sentence should be "He found a hundred rupees." In English, when referring to a specific quantity like "hundred," it is customary to use the article "a."

(b) "He is best player."  
This sentence is incorrect because it is missing the definite article "the" before "best." The correct sentence should be "He is the best player." When using superlatives like "best," the definite article "the" is required to specify that the person is the top among all.

(c) "The Ganges is a river."  
This sentence is actually correct. It correctly uses the definite article "the" with the proper noun "Ganges" and accurately describes it as "a river." Therefore, this sentence does not contribute to Option 4 being the correct answer.

(d) "Shakespeare is greater than any other poets."  
This sentence is incorrect because it mixes singular and plural forms. The correct sentence should be "Shakespeare is greater than any other poet." The word "poets" should be singular to match the comparison being made with "any other."

Now, let's explain why the other options are incorrect:

1. Only (a): This option is incorrect because it only identifies sentence (a) as incorrect, while sentences (b) and (d) are also incorrect.

2. (b) and (c): This option is incorrect because it incorrectly identifies sentence (c) as incorrect, while it is actually correct. Additionally, it fails to identify sentence (a) as incorrect.

3. Only (c): This option is incorrect because sentence (c) is actually correct, and it fails to identify sentences (a), (b), and (d) as incorrect.

In conclusion, Option 4 is the correct answer because it accurately identifies sentences (a), (b), and (d) as incorrect, while recognizing that sentence (c) is correct.
