Choose the sentence that is grammatically incorrect.

  • A.Our followers are but a handful.
  • B.Neither he nor I was there.
  • C.Many a glorious deeds were done.
  • D.Everyone of the boys lovers to ride.

Answer: C

Correct answer: Many a glorious deeds were done.

Many a is always followed by a singular noun and a singular verb, however plural the sense feels. The sentence should read many a glorious deed was done.

The other three are sound:

  • Our followers are but a handful - but here means only.
  • Neither he nor I was there - with neither… nor the verb agrees with the nearer subject, I.
  • Everyone of the boys loves to ride - everyone is singular.
