Read the paragraph.[1] This year, the Linden High School debate team is bigger than ever. [2] Neither the students nor the faculty advisors have much experience, but it’s a smart, capable, argumentative group! [3] As a team, we’ve tried to make a schedule that allows her to study, prepare, and scrimmage. [4] Only one of us is able to practice on Thursdays or Fridays, which can be inconvenient. [5] Even so, we feel prepared and excited for this year’s tournaments. [6] Our first debate is on October 10th, and each of us are looking forward to it.Select the combination of sentences which contain grammar errors:
Answer
A
sentence 2 and sentence 3
B
sentence 3 and sentence 6
C
sentence 4 and sentence 5
D
sentence 1 and sentence 6
Explanation
Sentence 3 has a pronoun agreement error: the team is speaking as “we,” so “allows her to study” should use a pronoun that matches, such as “allows us to study.” In sentence 6, “each” is singular, so the verb should be “is”: “each of us is looking forward to it.” These are sentences 3 and 6, choice B.
