    Solution

    Here, after the second โ€˜thereโ€™, the noun is โ€˜doubtsโ€™, which is plural. So, instead of the singular verb โ€˜isโ€™, the plural verb โ€˜areโ€™ should be used. There is scepticism and there are doubts whether wider consultations would result in cacophony, making the task of arriving at a solution much more difficult.
