Directions (Q. 1-5): Read each sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The number of that part is the answer. If there is no error, the answer is (E), i.e. ‘No error’. (Ignore the errors of punctuation, if any.)
The majority of the woman (A)/ teachers are persuading (B)/ the principal to consider (C)/ their demands. (D)/ No Error (E)
Explanation:
Answer :(A)
Explanation : Replace 'woman teachers' by 'women teachers'.
The usual way to use a noun as an adjective is in the singular. Examples of this common way are apple tree and apple trees, shoe store and shoe stores, and child psychologist and child psychologist.
However, there are exceptions to this "rule." One of the exceptions applies to the words "man" and "woman." Unlike most nouns, when "man" and "woman" are used as adjectives modifying a plural noun, they often change form to plural, too. Thus, we have:
a man teacher
but
men teachers
a woman pilot
but
women pilots
