Which of the following sentences is correct ?
A In the accident, a number of passengers were dead.
B Everyone were pleased at the party .
C The interviewer asked a number of question.
D Each of the boys are suffering from corona virus.
Solution
Correct Answer: Option A
Everyone এবং each থাকায় অপশন b ও d বাক্য দুটিতে plural verb যথক্রমে 'were' এবং 'are' হবে না । c অপশনে a number of - এর পরে plural noun না থাকায় এটিও ভুল । কিন্তু a অপশনে subject ও verb -এর সঠিক রূপ থাকায় তা যথোপযুক্ত । সুতরাং সঠিক বাক্য In the accident, a number of passengers were dead ।
