Find out which part of the sentence has an error. If there is no error, choose ‘No error’.
Each of the long boats / in the Onam boat race / carries nearly a hundred rowers.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → No error
“Carries” may look wrong because the word “boats” is plural. But the subject is “each”, not “boats”. “Each of” is followed by a plural noun, but the verb stays singular. So carries is right, and the sentence has no error.
Option 1: Each of the long boats — No error. “Each of” needs a plural noun after it, so “boats” is right.
Option 2: in the Onam boat race — No error. This part only tells which race the boats are in. It does not change the subject.
Option 3: carries nearly a hundred rowers — No error. The verb agrees with “each”, which is singular.
