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.
