Find out which part of the sentence has an error.
Ma told me that / there was three thick albums / of my parents’ wedding photos / in Nani’s old almirah.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → there was three thick albums
After “there was” or “there were”, the verb agrees with the noun that comes after it. Here that noun is “albums”, which is plural. So it must be there were, not “there was”.
Option 1: Ma told me that — No error.
Option 2: there was three thick albums — Error. “there was” should be “there were”.
Option 3: of my parents’ wedding photos — No error. The apostrophe comes after the “s” because the photos belong to both parents.
Option 4: in Nani’s old almirah — No error.
Corrected: Ma told me that there were three thick albums of my parents’ wedding photos in Nani’s old almirah.
