In the following sentence, identify the segment with an adjective-related error:
"After the board's thorough review, several member expressed their respective opinions, ensuring each distinct perspective was considered equally."
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (B) several member expressed their respective opinions
Concept (Quantifier 'Several' with Plural Noun) 'several' के बाद सदैव plural noun आता है। यहाँ 'several member' गलत है; शुद्ध रूप 'several members' है।
✓ शुद्ध वाक्य: After the board's thorough review, several members expressed their respective opinions, ensuring each distinct perspective was considered equally.
Examiner का trap यह है कि 'several' के बाद singular noun (एकवचन संज्ञा) रख दिया जाए।
Concept (Quantifier 'Several' with Plural Noun) 'Several' is always followed by a plural noun. 'Several member' is wrong; the correct form is 'several members'.
✓ Correct sentence: After the board's thorough review, several members expressed their respective opinions, ensuring each distinct perspective was considered equally.
Exam trap: keeping the singular noun 'member' after 'several'.
