SSC MTS 7th October 2021 Shift-3

There was

who voted

for him

many people

- Option 1: There was

- This is the incorrect segment.

- "Was" is singular, but "many people" is plural. The correct term should be "There were."

- Option 2: Who voted

- Grammatically correct.

- "Who" refers to the people and correctly introduces the relative clause.

- Option 3: For him

- Grammatically correct.

- "For" is the appropriate preposition here.

- Option 4: Many people

- Grammatically correct.

- "Many people" is a correct plural noun phrase.

Option 1: There was is where the grammatical error lies. Using "was" instead of "were" for a plural subject is incorrect.
