Find out which part of the sentence has an error. If there is no error, choose ‘No error’.
The new science kit comprises of / a microscope, twenty glass slides / and a booklet of simple experiments.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → The new science kit comprises of
The given sentence says “comprises of”. This is wrong. The verb “comprise” means “is made up of”, and it takes its object directly, with no “of”. So the right form is comprises.
Option 1: The new science kit comprises of — Error. “comprises of” should be “comprises”.
Option 2: a microscope, twenty glass slides — No error.
Option 3: and a booklet of simple experiments — No error.
Corrected: The new science kit comprises a microscope, twenty glass slides and a booklet of simple experiments.
