Choose the sentence that is grammatically incorrect.

  • A.Nothing but funny stories delights him.
  • B.I cannot raise this lid.
  • C.This is the book that I want.
  • D.The thief divested the child from all her jewels.

Answer: D

Correct answer: The thief divested the child from all her jewels.

Divest takes of: one divests a person of something. The same pattern governs rob, deprive and relieve.

The other three are sound:

  • Nothing but funny stories delights him - the subject is nothing, so the verb is singular.
  • I cannot raise this lid - raise is transitive and correctly used.
  • This is the book that I want - correct.
