Choose the sentence that is grammatically incorrect.

  • A.Politics is a dirty game.
  • B.Twenty miles is a long distance.
  • C.She did nothing but sang.
  • D.His father is an S.D.O

Answer: C

Correct answer: She did nothing but sang.

After nothing but following a form of do, the verb takes the bare infinitive: she did nothing but sing.

The other three are sound:

  • Politics is a dirty game - a subject name in -ics is singular.
  • Twenty miles is a long distance - a measured quantity is treated as one thing.
  • His father is an S.D.O. - an is right because the letter S is sounded ess.
