Answer:
Here are the errors and clarification with all sentences.
Explanation:
1. Neither Jack or Jill fetched any water.
The error is with 'or' as with 'nether' we use 'nor' and with 'either' we use 'or'. So the correct sentence will be: Neither Jack nor Jill fetched any water.
2. I met an one-eyed man.
The error is the article 'an'. Here we will use 'a'. Since the word "one" here starts with a consonant sound, the indefinite article "a" will be used before it. The correct statement is: I met a one-eyed man.
3. The tree is very tall that we cannot climb upon it.
The error is 'very' , which is not accurate, instead of hat we will use 'so'. The correct statement will be: The tree is so tall that we cannot climb upon it.
4. One of the boy has won a prize.
The error is with 'boy', with sentences starting with 'one of the...' we use the plural form , so correct form will be: One of the boys has won a prize.
5. My cup of tea is hot as yours.
The error is 'yours'. Here the term 'my' is given so the correct form of a pronoun will be 'your' or the sentence will be with as before adjective. My cup of tea is as hot yours.
6. The aim of players are to score the most goals.
The error is 'are'. Here the correct form of verb will be 'is' as Aim is singular form that is being denoted. Therefore the correct statement is: The aim of the players is to score the most goals.
