been divided into four parts, one of which may contain an error. Identify that fragment and mark it as your answer. The words in bold are contextually and grammatically correct. Mark (E) if the sentence contains no error. The team captain, along with his players, (A) / were celebrating (B) / their victory (C) / at the stadium. (D) / No Error (E)Solution
The verb "were" should be replaced with "was" to agree with the singular subject "captain." Since the team captain is part of the subject, the verb should be singular.
