Question and options
Identify the erroneous part of the following sentence:
One of my friend has gone to Britain for her higher studies.
One of my friend has gone to Britain for her higher studies.
- One of my friend
- has gone
- to Britain
- for her higher studies.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - One of my friend
‘One of’ must be followed by a plural noun, so the part should read ‘One of my friends’. The rest is correct: ‘has gone’ agrees with the singular subject ‘one’, and ‘her higher studies’ refers back to that one friend.
