Try a sample Authors adapting and subverting text structures question
Question 1 — Easy
Read the following sentence and identify the grammatical error: 'Every morning, Luca and his brother argues about who gets the bathroom first, which drives their parents absolutely mad.' What is the error in this sentence?
Answer: Option B is correct — The compound subject 'Luca and his brother' is plural, so the verb must be 'argue', not 'argues'. 'Drives' is correct because 'which' refers to the singular situation described.
Question 2 — Medium
Select the sentence that correctly uses 'who' or 'whom'. The context involves a school debate competition at a secondary college in Victoria.
Answer: Option B is correct — 'Whom' is correct because it functions as the object of the verb 'admired' in the relative clause (the students admired him/her); 'who' is used for subjects, not objects.
Question 3 — Hard
Read the following sentence and choose the option that corrects the error in subject–verb agreement. 'The data collected from all three remote outback stations suggest that rainfall levels has declined significantly over the past decade.'
Answer: Option C is correct — 'Data' is treated as a plural noun in formal contexts, so 'suggest' is correct; however, 'levels' is the subject of the second clause, making 'have' (plural) the correct verb form rather than 'has'.
