Question

Pick the error in the underlined parts of the following sentence. (a) there / (b) are / (c) no sugar / (d) in the house .

• A. a
• B. b
• C. c
• D. d

Answer 1

Answer:

B. b

Sugar is an uncountable noun, so it takes a singular verb.

Incorrect:

There are no sugar in the house. ❌

Correct:

There is no sugar in the house. ✅

Therefore, the error is in (b) are, which should be changed to is.
