Is multiple choices correct why not the grammar rule behind it?

The phrase "multiple choices correct" is grammatically incorrect. Here's why:

* "Multiple choices" is a plural noun phrase, referring to more than one choice.

* "Correct" is an adjective.

To make this grammatically correct, you need to connect the noun phrase and the adjective in a way that makes sense. Here are some options:

1. Using a verb:

* "Multiple choices are correct." This is the most straightforward and grammatically correct way to express the idea.

* "Multiple choices could be correct." This emphasizes the possibility of more than one answer.

* "Multiple choices were correct." This specifies a past tense scenario.

2. Using a preposition:

* "There are multiple correct choices." This emphasizes the existence of several right answers.

* "We have multiple correct choices." This emphasizes ownership or availability.

3. Using a different adjective:

* "There are many correct choices." This uses the adjective "many" instead of "multiple" for a slightly different tone.

Grammar Rule: Adjectives modify nouns. When using a plural noun, the adjective should agree in number. In this case, "correct" modifies "choices", which is plural, making "correct" the correct form.
