      Each of these questions consists of a sentence which is

      divided into four part numbered (1) to (4). Only one part in each sentence is not acceptable in standard written English. Identify the part which contains an error.
      A The loss of three friends Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B and a job Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C were the price Patel had to pay Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D for his ill-tempered outbursts. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The subject "The loss of three friends and a job" is singular because it refers to one collective loss (a combination of losses), so the verb should be singular ("was" instead of "were").
