      Question

      Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.

      If there is no error, select 'No error'. Not only the performers but also the audience deserve credit for the success of the musical show.
      A Not only the performers Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B but also the audience Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C deserve credit for the success Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Here, 'deserves' is correct, not 'deserve'. This is because 'audience' is a collective noun here. If one subject is singular and the other is plural and the words are connected by the words "or," "nor," "neither/nor," "either/or," or "not only/but also," use the verb form of the subject that is nearest the verb.
