and a poet of repute. (c)/No error (d)​

Answer 1

One of my best frie nd is (a)/ both a novelist(b)/

and a poet of repute. (c)/No error (d)

Answer:

The error in the given sentence is " One of my best frie nd is (a)"

The sentence should be like this:

One of my best frie nds.

Grammatically "One of my best frien ds" is the correct statement.

In subject-verb agreement, a singular subject takes a single verb whereas a plural verb takes a plural verb.

Correct: one of my friends ✅

wrong: one of my friend. ❌
