Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe erroneous segment is "Nobody were".
Key Points
- We have to select that segment that contains a grammatical error.
- The given sentence is not grammatically correct.
- The error lies in Part A of the sentence.
- Here Nobody is an indefinite pronoun that refers to 'not any person'.
- Nobody is a singular pronoun and therefore we use it with a singular verb.
- Therefore, the usage of 'were' is incorrect here.
- We will use 'was' instead of 'were' with nobody for making this sentence error-free.
- Thus, the correct answer is option 4.
Correct Sentence: Nobody was allowed into the containment zones during the pandemic.
