English error dection (Question:1056135.2)

sir, why do we use here subject instead of subjecting

Question:

DIRECTIONS: In the questions given below, there is a sentence in which one part is given in bold. The part given in bold, may or may not be grammatically correct. Choose the best alternative among the four given options which can replace the part in bold to make the sentence grammatically correct. If the part given in bold is already correct and does not require any replacement, choose option (e), i.e. “No replacement required” as your answer.

During this same period, my home telephone and my mobile phone was subjected for nuisance calls. 
Options:
A) was subject to 
B) were subjecting for 
C) were subject to 
D) was subject for 
E) No correction required 
Solution:
The correct replacement to the underlined segment is ‘were subject to’. The sentence refers to ‘home telephone and mobile phone’ both and hence the use of ‘were’ is needed. Also the correct phrase is ‘subject to’ to make the sentence grammatically correct’.

Dear Student,

The given question doesn't describe a continuous activity, hence the use of 'subjecting' is incorrect. Moreover, the correct expression is 'subject to'. Hope this clears your doubt. Keep learning with us. Team TR.
