Choose the part of the sentence which has an error. If there is no error, choose ‘No error’.
Forty minutes is / enough time for the dough / to rise in a warm kitchen.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → No error
“Is” may look wrong, but it is right. “Forty minutes” looks plural. But here it means one stretch of time, taken as a whole. An amount of time taken as one whole takes a singular verb. So Forty minutes is needs no change, and the sentence has no error.
Option 1: Forty minutes is — No error. “Is” is right because the forty minutes are one period of time here.
Option 2: enough time for the dough — No error. “Enough” rightly comes before the noun “time”.
Option 3: to rise in a warm kitchen — No error. “Rise” (not “raise”) is right, because the dough goes up by itself.
