Find out the error part of the following sentences:
On my request (1)/ Jatin introduced me (2)/ to his friend (3)/ who is singer and scientist (4)/ No error
- a will be used before singer.
The given sentence ‘On my request Jatin introduced me to his friend who is singer and scientist’ is grammatically incorrect. The error lies in the fourth part of the sentence ‘who is singer and scientist’.
The correct usage of a noun phrase should be ‘who is a singer and a scientist’. The correct usage of the noun phrase should be ‘a singer’ and ‘a scientist’ as both of them are singular nouns. The article ‘a’ should be used before the noun and an ‘and’ should be placed before the conjunction.
Hence, option D - 4 is the correct answer.
