Choose the sentence that is grammatically incorrect.

  • A.If it had not been for your folly,you could have been a partner in the firm today.
  • B.The storm having ceased,the sun came out.
  • C.He stipulated for immediate supply of the articles.
  • D.Why did you give false witness ?

Answer: D

Correct answer: Why did you give false witness ?

The fixed expression is bear false witness. Give collocates with evidence, not with witness.

The other three are sound:

  • If it had not been for your folly, you could have been a partner - a correct third conditional.
  • The storm having ceased, the sun came out - a correct absolute construction.
  • He stipulated for immediate supply of the articles - stipulate for is correct.
