Download Solution PDFThe erroneous part is option 2) i.e. 'it don’t matter to them.'
Key Points
- The error lies in the part 'it don’t matter to them.'
- According to the rules of grammar, the pronoun 'it' is a third person singular number and after it 's/es' form of verb will be used.
- Therefore we have to use 'doesn't.'
- Example:
- It doesn't have a price label on it.
- Therefore in the given sentence, we need to use 'doesn't' in place of 'don't' to make the sentence grammatically correct.
- Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
Correct sentence: Rehan and Ronit are good friends and it doesn’t matter to them as to who is wealthier.
