    Question

    In each of the questions, a sentence has been divided

    into four parts, one of which may contain an error. Identify that fragment and mark it as your answer . The negotiations between the (A)/ two countries was conducted in (B)/ earnest and resulted in a (C)/ mutually beneficial trade agreement. (D)
    A A Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The error is in Part (B), where "was" should be corrected to "were" to ensure subject-verb agreement. "Negotiations" is a plural noun, so the plural form of the verb ("were") is appropriate here.
