Which of these is not a correct sentence?

Question

We start by restating the task and listing the answer choices to evaluate each one.
Option 1: 'In case of emergency, I hope you know what to do.' This sentence is grammatically acceptable in informal and formal contexts; the prepositional phrase 'In case of emergency' is correctly used, and the rest of the sentence flows well. Overall, this is a correct sentence.
Option 2: 'If we had a little more time before the next class session, we could review again.' This construction is grammatical. It uses a conditional clause 'If we had...' followed by a main clause 'we could review again.' The meaning is clear and the verb tenses agree, so this is a correct sentence.
Option 3: 'Not everyone likes to write, but everyone needs to write in order to communicate.' This is a well-formed sentence with a clear contrast using 'but' and parallel structure around the verbs 'likes' and 'needs to write.' The phrase 'in order to communicate' properly explains the purpose. This is also correct.
Option 4: 'I am not sure whether you know this or not, but this class requires several papers' This sentence is largely intelligible but is missing final punctuation; as written, it ends abruptly without a period, which makes it technically incomplete as a standalone sentence in formal writing. Some style guides would require a period at the end, and without it the sentence feels unfinished. This could be considered incorrect due to punctuation.
Option 5: 'I hate people which are not honest with me.' This sentence contains a grammatical error in the relative pronoun usage. For people, the correct relative pronoun is 'who' (not 'which'), and the verb form 'are' is fine, but the combination 'people who are not honest with me' is the standard, correct phrasing. Using 'which' for people is a common error and marks the sentence as incorrect.
In summary, Options 1, 2, and 3 are grammatically correct; Option 4 is problematic mainly due to missing terminal punctuation (and could be seen as incorrect in strict writing conventions); Option 5 is incorrect due to the improper use of 'which' instead of 'who' when referring to people. The sentence in question that the dataset identifies as incorrect aligns with Option 5, which is the one featuring the 'which' vs 'who' issue.
