Question

In the following question four sentences are given. Choose the one which is grammatically correct.

a)The proceeds of the charity are for not victims.
b)He asked Ajay and I to go.
c)The weather of this place does not suit me.
d)Either Rajesh or his friends have done it.

Answer 1

Hint: In order for the sentences to be grammatically correct, the subject and verb must agree with one other regarding their tense. If the subject is in plural form, the verb should also be in a plural form and vice versa.

Complete step-by-step answer:

To ensure that a sentence is grammatically correct, one must identify the main subject and verb in the sentence, then check and see if they are both plural or singular. When more than one phrase or description is used in a sentence, those phrases and sentences should be consistent with one another in their form of wording. In the given sentences, option a is "The proceeds of the charity are for not victims". This sentence is not grammatically correct as the subject and the predicate of the sentence are not consistent, and this sentence also has words like "not victims" which is totally wrong. Option b is "He asked Ajay and I to go." This sentence is also not correct as, "I" is never used in such sentences, "me" is used instead. Option c is "The weather of this place does not suit me". This sentence is grammatically correct as there are no grammar, syntax, or punctuation errors. Option d is "Either Rajesh or his friends have done it". This sentence is grammatically incorrect as "has" should have been there in place of "have". Hence, option c is the right answer.

Note: The noun that follows either must be a singular, countable noun.
