Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is freshwater lake in India
Key Points
- The most of is a plural term and is generally used to talk about a noun or a pronoun (freshwater lakes).
- The noun or a pronoun used after the phrase “most of” is always in the plural form ( as we are talking of majority of person/place/thing out of many)
- Freshwater lake should be replaced with Freshwater lakes in the sentence to make it grammatically correct.
- Therefore, the correct sentence would be:
- Most of the freshwater lakes in India are in the Himalayan region.
- Most of the freshwater lakes in India are in the Himalayan region.
Hence, option 1 is the correct choice.
