one of the chair is broken.

Answer 2

The errors are identified and corrected as mentioned below-

a. As the child fell down, it started crying.

The ' so' in the original sentence will be omitted.

b. He is an honest man.

We use the article 'an ' before words that are pronounced with vowels.

c. Neither the secretary nor the manager was available.

We use 'is 'or 'was ' with neither, nor, and either, or.

d. The cat drinks milk.

We have to use the singular form of the verb.

e. One of the chairs is broken.

We have to use 'is ' instead of 'are '.
