Correct the error if any in the given sentence and mark your answer in the response sheet.
The sceneries are beautiful.
Answer: C
The corrected sentence is The scenery is beautiful.
Scenery is an uncountable noun: it refers to the landscape as a whole and has no plural form, so sceneries is an error. As an uncountable noun it takes a singular verb, so are becomes is.
The other options keep the wrong plural. The sceneries were beautiful only changes the tense, and The sceneries was beautiful adds a mismatch between subject and verb. "No errors" is wrong because the sentence does contain one. Other uncountable nouns that learners wrongly pluralise include information, furniture, luggage and advice.
