Question

Water overuse is a huge issue that **a lot of peoples are** dealing with.

In the sentence above, identify the correct replacement for the phrase in bold. If the sentence is already correct, choose 'No improvement required'.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The phrase **'a lot of peoples'** is incorrect because **'people'** is already a plural noun and does not take an 's' at the end.

2. The correct plural form is **'a lot of people'**.

3. Since the subject is plural, the verb must also be plural, so **'are'** is the correct verb form.

4. Therefore, the phrase should be replaced with **'a lot of people are'**.

**Answer:** (c) a lot of people are
