Identify the part of the sentence that contains an error.
(A) Even after participating in numerous academic conferences and / (B) panel discussions, I have never encountered that kinds of objections / (C) in any academic discussion on this subject despite differing viewpoints. / (D) No error
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (B) panel discussions, I have never encountered that kinds of objections
Concept (Demonstrative और Number Agreement: Those Kinds): Demonstrative Adjective (विशेषण) का Number उसके Noun से मेल खाना चाहिए। 'kinds' Plural (बहुवचन) है, इसलिए उसके पहले Singular 'that' नहीं आ सकता; यहाँ 'those' आएगा (या Singular में 'that kind of objection')।
अतः 'that kinds of objections' गलत है; सही रूप 'those kinds of objections' है।
✓ शुद्ध वाक्य: Even after participating in numerous academic conferences and panel discussions, I have never encountered those kinds of objections in any academic discussion on this subject despite differing viewpoints.
Examiner का trap Singular 'that' को Plural 'kinds' के साथ लगाना है।
Concept (Demonstrative and Number Agreement: Those Kinds): a demonstrative adjective must agree in number with its noun. 'Kinds' is plural, so it cannot follow the singular 'that'; 'those' is needed here (or 'that kind of objection' in the singular).
So 'that kinds of objections' is wrong; the correct form is 'those kinds of objections'.
✓ Correct sentence: Even after participating in numerous academic conferences and panel discussions, I have never encountered those kinds of objections in any academic discussion on this subject despite differing viewpoints.
Exam trap: attaching the singular 'that' to the plural 'kinds'.
