Question

Accepted Answer

### 1. Sentence: “None of them is present.”
# Brief Explanations:
This sentence is grammatically correct. The subject "none" (when referring to a singular or uncountable noun conceptually, or in the case of "none of them" where the verb can agree with the singular as a default or formal usage) takes "is" here. So no mistake.
# Answer:
No mistake. The sentence “None of them is present.” is correct.

### 2. Sentence: “Neither Tom nor his brother have a cat.”
# Brief Explanations:
When using "neither...nor...", the verb agrees with the nearest subject (the one after "nor"). Here, the nearest subject is "his brother" (singular), so the verb should be "has" instead of "have".
# Answer:
Mistake. Correct sentence: “Neither Tom nor his brother has a cat.”

### 3. Sentence: “There is scarcely any food in the refrigerator.”
# Brief Explanations:
This sentence is grammatically correct. "Scarcely" is used appropriately with "any" in the "there is" structure to indicate a small or negligible amount of food.
# Answer:
No mistake. The sentence “There is scarcely any food in the refrigerator.” is correct.

### 4. Sentence: “Everybody trust you.”
# Brief Explanations:
The subject "everybody" is a singular indefinite pronoun, so the verb should be in the singular form "trusts" instead of "trust".
# Answer:
Mistake. Correct sentence: “Everybody trusts you.”

### 5. Sentence: “Although it is raining he is leaving home with an umbrella.”
# Brief Explanations:
There should be a comma after "raining" to separate the dependent clause "Although it is raining" from the independent clause "he is leaving home with an umbrella". Also, the logic seems a bit off (usually one would take an umbrella because it's raining, but the grammatical mistake is the missing comma).
# Answer:
Mistake. Correct sentence: “Although it is raining, he is leaving home with an umbrella.”

### 6. Sentence: “Which of these three books are more interesting?”
# Brief Explanations:
When "which" is used to ask about one of a group (here, one of the three books), the verb should be singular. So "is" should be used instead of "are".
# Answer:
Mistake. Correct sentence: “Which of these three books is more interesting?”

### 7. Sentence: “John drives as dangerous as his brother.”
# Brief Explanations:
"As...as" structure for adverbs (since we are describing how John drives) requires an adverb. "Dangerous" is an adjective; the adverb form is "dangerously".
# Answer:
Mistake. Correct sentence: “John drives as dangerously as his brother.”

### 8. Sentence: “He reads more badly than his sister.”
# Brief Explanations:
The comparative form of "badly" is "worse", not "more badly". "Badly" is an adverb, and its comparative is "worse" (irregular comparison).
# Answer:
Mistake. Correct sentence: “He reads worse than his sister.”

### 9. Sentence: “This cake tastes delicious.”
# Brief Explanations:
This sentence is grammatically correct. "Tastes" is a linking verb, and "delicious" (adjective) is used correctly as the subject complement to describe the cake.
# Answer:
No mistake. The sentence “This cake tastes delicious.” is correct.

### 10. Sentence: “Nothing can't be done to save this patient.”
# Brief Explanations:
The double negative "can't" with "nothing" is incorrect. It should be "can" (so "Nothing can be done to save this patient" or if the intended meaning is that something can be done, it should be "Something can't be done..." but as is, the double negative is wrong).
# Answer:
Mistake. Correct sentence: “Nothing can be done to save this patient.”

### 11. Sentence: “The mother of these twins is my classmate.”
# Brief Explanations:
This sentence is grammatically correct. The subject "The mother of these twins" is singular, and the verb "is" agrees with it, and the structure is proper.
# Answer:
No mistake. The sentence “The mother of these twins is my classmate.” is correct.
