Choose the sentence that is grammatically incorrect.

  • A.The odds are against him.
  • B.Let me thread the needle.
  • C.A nurse is taking care of him.
  • D.I dont know if snow is falling.

Answer: D

Correct answer: I don't know if snow is falling.

In a noun clause after a verb like know, standard usage prefers whether; if belongs to conditional clauses. The natural sentence is I don't know whether it is snowing.

The other three are sound:

  • The odds are against him - odds is plural.
  • Let me thread the needle - correct.
  • A nurse is taking care of him - correct.
