Choose the grammatically correct version of the sentence given below:
The bouquet of flower was placed on the table.
Solution
Option B is the correct answer.
The given sentence is not correct as the collective terms like "bouquet" should be followed by a plural noun like "flowers".
But the subject of the sentence is "bouquet," which is singular. The phrase "of flowers" is prepositional and does not affect the number of the subject.
Since "bouquet" is singular, it requires the singular verb "was" instead of "were," "are," or "have been."
