• B. doesn’t it make sense
• C. doesn’t make sense
• D. is it making sense

Answer 1

Answer:

C. doesn’t make sense

• The error in the original sentence involves the Helping Verb (Auxiliary Verb) and Subject-Verb Agreement. The Error: The original sentence uses "isn’t make sense." In English, the auxiliary verb "is/am/are" is used with the "-ing" form of the verb (Present Continuous) or as a linking verb. It cannot be followed directly by a base verb like "make." The Rule: To negate a simple present tense verb (like "make"), we must use the auxiliary verb do or does + not + base verb. Subject-Verb Agreement: The subject of the clause is "The article" (singular). For singular subjects, we use does not (doesn't). Correct Structure: Subject + doesn't + base verb. The article doesn't make sense.
