c. c
d. d

Answer 1

Hint: In this question we need to find out the error in the sentence. So our approach will be to find the part of the sentence which is grammatically incorrect

Complete step by step solution:
Option A. a
Traditionally “persons'' were used when we refer to a group of humans for which the exact no is known in modern use persons got replaced by people.
So, clearly (a) part of the sentence has the error.
Now let us see our next option.

Option B. b
This part of the sentence has no error.

Option C: c
This part also has no error and is grammatically correct .

Option D: d
This option is wrong as the first part of the sentence has an error.

So, the correct answer is “Option A: is a”

Note: You must have understood the meaning of all the options correctly and must have chosen the correct option. When no human is specified and is more than one then singular nouns cannot be used.
