B Round the sun
C Isn’t it?
D No error

EXPLANATION

C
The error in the sentence is in the tag question at the end: “Isn’t it?”. The correct tag question to use in this case is “doesn’t it?” instead of “isn’t it?” since the main verb in the sentence is “moves,” which is a present simple tense verb.

Q3. Find out which part of the following sentence has an error :-
“Neither he nor I are wrong”
A Neither he
B nor I
C are wrong
D no error

EXPLANATION

C
The error in the sentence is in the verb agreement. The correct form should be:
“Neither he nor I am wrong.”
Since “I” is the first person singular pronoun, the verb should be in the singular form “am” instead of the plural form “are.”
The correct option is C.
