Identify from the words in bold letters the error in the sentence.
Although the research paper was comprehensive, the committee found much flaws in the statistical methodology used to analyze the sample size.
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (A) much
Concept (Much with Countable Noun) 'much' का प्रयोग uncountable nouns के साथ होता है, और 'many' का प्रयोग plural countable nouns के साथ। 'flaws' एक plural countable noun है।
अतः 'much flaws' के स्थान पर 'many flaws' आएगा।
✓ शुद्ध वाक्य: Although the research paper was comprehensive, the committee found many flaws in the statistical methodology used to analyze the sample size.
Examiner का trap यह है कि 'much flaws' लिख दिया जाए, जबकि 'flaws' countable plural (गणनीय बहुवचन) noun है।
Concept (Much with Countable Noun) 'Much' is used with uncountable nouns, and 'many' with plural countable nouns. 'Flaws' is a plural countable noun.
Hence 'much flaws' becomes 'many flaws'.
✓ Correct sentence: Although the research paper was comprehensive, the committee found many flaws in the statistical methodology used to analyze the sample size.
Exam trap: writing 'much flaws', because 'flaws' is a countable plural noun.
