    C 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The error is in fragment (4): "breakthrough that reduced hostilities in the region." The subject "The Accords" is plural, so the verb "was" in fragment (3) should be changed to "were" to agree with the plural subject. Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "The Accords, which normalized relations between Israel and several Arab nations, were hailed by many as a diplomatic breakthrough that reduced hostilities in the region."
