Which one of the following sentences contains no errors? a. an employee is only allowed to use sick leave for a few specific reason. b. there will be no resolution in the disciplinary hearing until all the facts had been determined. c. conflict resolution in the workplace requires special skills and a lot of patience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The correct sentence is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

c. Conflict resolution in the workplace requires special skills and a lot of patience.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Let’s break down why each sentence either contains errors or is correct:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

a. “An employee is only allowed to use sick leave for a few specific reason.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Error<\/strong>: The phrase “specific reason” is incorrect because “reason” is singular, but the phrase “a few” implies multiple reasons. The correct wording should be “specific reasons<\/strong>.”<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Corrected sentence: “An employee is only allowed to use sick leave for a few specific reasons<\/strong>.”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    b. “There will be no resolution in the disciplinary hearing until all the facts had been determined.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Error<\/strong>: The verb tense is inconsistent. The sentence starts with “will be” (future tense) but then uses “had been determined” (past perfect tense). To maintain consistency, the correct tense should be “have been determined” because the sentence refers to a future event.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Corrected sentence: “There will be no resolution in the disciplinary hearing until all the facts have been determined<\/strong>.”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      c. “Conflict resolution in the workplace requires special skills and a lot of patience.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Correct sentence<\/strong>: This sentence is free of grammatical errors. It correctly uses the plural noun “skills” to match with the indefinite article “a lot of” (which suggests an amount rather than a specific count) and pairs it with the singular noun “patience,” which fits with the context of the sentence. The verb “requires” is also in the correct present tense to match the subject “conflict resolution.”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Conclusion:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Sentence c<\/strong> is the only one without any errors in grammar, syntax, or consistency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Sentence a<\/strong> contains a subject-verb disagreement due to the singular “reason” after “a few.”<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Sentence b<\/strong> has a tense inconsistency between future tense and past perfect tense.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
