Directions: Read the sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The letter of that part is the answer. If there is no error, the answer is ‘E”. (Ignore – the errors of punctuation, if any)

- B.
B
- C.
C
- D.
D
Attempted by 17 students.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation:
The complete subject is "A course of lectures." The head noun "course" is singular, so the verb must also be singular. Therefore, "were arranged" is incorrect.
Correct sentence:
A course of lectures was arranged by the students of the tenth class.
The phrase "A course of" is correct and identifies the singular head noun.
"by the students" correctly indicates the agent in the passive construction.
"of tenth class" identifies the class; it is not the primary error being tested here.
