The correct answer is 'Option 1' i.e. 'Is allowed'.
Key Points
  • The error in the sentence lies in the use of 'is allows' instead of 'is allowed'.
  • 'Allows' is a present tense verb, while 'allowed' is the past participle used in passive voice sentences.
  • 'Is allowed' is the correct form here since we are talking about a permission given to every passenger (the action is performed on the subject – each passenger is being allowed to do something).
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Each passenger is allowed one piece of carry-on luggage."
Additional Information
  • 'Is allowing' and 'is allow' are incorrect because they do not conform to the standard structure of the passive voice that is needed in this context.
