Which word is used incorrectly? 'The procedure for giving injections were explained thoroughly to the student nurses.'
Correct answer
D
Rationale
The correct answer is D. It should be 'was' instead of 'were,' as 'procedure' is singular. When referring to a singular noun like 'procedure,' the verb should also be singular. In this case, the correct verb form is 'was' to match the singular noun 'procedure.' Therefore, the sentence should read, 'The procedure for giving injections was explained thoroughly to the student nurses.'
