Read each sentence to find out whether there is an error in any underlined part.

Mathematics is a difficult subject.

  • A.Mathematics
  • B.is a
  • C.difficult subject.
  • D.No error

Answer: D

The answer is (D) No error.

Names of subjects ending in -ics, such as mathematics, physics and economics, look plural but are treated as singular when they name the subject. So Mathematics is a difficult subject is correct.

The trap is to think 'mathematics is' should be 'mathematics are' because of the final s. Parts (A), (B) and (C) are all correct.
