Q. In the following sentence there may an error. Choose the part of the sentence which has the error.

The story of the spirits residing in the building is a myth and will remains so.

(A) The story of the spirits residing
(B) in the building is a myth
(C) and will remains so.
(D) No error

Correct Answer - Option(C)

Explanation by: Deepak Sahoo

The error lies in option 3 as the verb 'remains' is incorrect and must be replaced with the verb 'remain' as with 'will' we always use the infinitive form of the verb.

The correct form should be: 'and will remain so.'
