Discussion
Choose the grammatically correct sentence.
Answer: C
Correct answer: The errors in the typed reports were so numerous that they could hardly be overlooked.
So… that is correctly paired, the verb agrees with the plural errors, and the passive be overlooked is properly formed.
Why the others fail:
- The typist had corrected the errors had they known… - a singular subject with a plural pronoun, and the conditional halves are the wrong way round.
- the typists whom they believed had made… - the pronoun is the subject of had made, so it must be who.
- had they of known - of for have is a spoken slip, not written English.
