Correct the following sentences and rewrite them: a) He is one of the cleverest boys in the class. b) The number of students in this college are increasing. c) She has been working here since two years.

Answer

a) Corrected: He is one of the cleverest boys in the class. *(No correction needed—this sentence is grammatically correct. However, if the original intended to emphasize "clever" as a quality rather than a comparison, it could also be written as: "He is a very clever boy in the class.")*

b) Corrected: The number of students in this college is increasing. (The subject "number" is singular, so the verb must be singular ("is" instead of "are").)

c) Corrected: She has been working here for two years. (Use "for" with a period of time, not "since." "Since" is used with a point in time, e.g., "since 2020.")


Note: The corrections focus on grammatical accuracy while preserving the original meaning. The first sentence is already correct, but alternative phrasing is provided for clarity. The second and third sentences require subject-verb agreement and prepositional precision, respectively.
