Choose the sentence that is grammatically incorrect.

  • A.He feels bad about the defeat.
  • B.All the boy scouts wear half-pants.
  • C.He hopes to secure good marks.
  • D.Sachin is the Bradman of India.

Answer: B

Correct answer: All the boy scouts wear half-pants.

Half-pants is not standard English; the garment is shorts. It is a common regional coinage rather than a grammatical slip, but it is the odd one out here.

The other three are sound:

  • He feels bad about the defeat - after feel an adjective is correct, not badly.
  • He hopes to secure good marks - hope takes a to-infinitive.
  • Sachin is the Bradman of India - a correct use of the definite article before a proper noun used as a type.
