(c) / it is tasteful or not (d).

1. A. She taste (Correct answer)
2. B. the sauce to
3. C. find out whether
4. D. it is tasteful or not

Correct Answer

Option A — She taste

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is She taste.

Key Points

• The error is in part (a): 'She taste' is grammatically incorrect.
• The verb must be properly conjugated — it should be 'She tasted' (simple past for a completed action) or 'She tastes' (simple present).
• The base form 'taste' cannot be used directly with a subject.

Additional Information

• This is a subject–verb agreement error. With a third-person singular subject (*She*), the present tense verb needs -s: *She tastes*. The bare form *taste* is used only with I, you, we, they or a plural noun.
• The rest of the sentence is sound: *to find out whether* correctly introduces an indirect yes/no question, and the tense sequence works once the main verb is fixed.
• Watch the vocabulary point too — tasteful means showing good aesthetic judgement, while tasty describes flavour. Of a sauce you would normally say *tasty*.
• Method for error-spotting: check the verb against its subject first, then tense consistency, then prepositions and articles. Most SSC and JKSSB errors sit in the first two.
