Discussion
In this question, the sentence is divided into three underlined parts labelled as (A), (B) and (C). Identify the part in which the error is located. If you find no error, your response should be indicated as (D).
The old furnitures (A) was disposed of (B) and the new ones were placed. (C) No error (D)
Answer: A
The error is in part (A), The old furnitures.
Furniture is an uncountable noun: it refers to tables, chairs and the like as a mass and has no plural form. The correct phrase is The old furniture, which then agrees with the singular verb was disposed of in part (B).
Part (B) is correct once (A) is fixed. In part (C), the new ones is loose usage, but the error the question targets is the plural furnitures, so "No error" is also wrong.
