Pick the incorrect part in the given sentence. If there is no error, choose ‘No error’.
For Sunday’s match, the police / has closed the road behind the stadium / till the game is over.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → has closed the road behind the stadium
The sentence says “the police has closed”. This is wrong. “Police” looks like a singular noun, but it is always used with a plural verb, just like “cattle” and “people”. So it must be the police have closed.
Option 1: For Sunday’s match, the police — No error.
Option 2: has closed the road behind the stadium — Error. “has” should be “have”.
Option 3: till the game is over — No error. After “till”, the simple present “is” is used for a future time, so it is right.
Corrected: For Sunday’s match, the police have closed the road behind the stadium till the game is over.
