Question
In each of the questions given below, a sentence is
given, divided into parts. One of the parts may contain an error. Identify the part that contains the error and mark it as the answer. Ignore errors of punctuation, if any. In case the sentence is correct as it is, mark option (e), that is, 'No error' as your answer.Solution
The error lies in part A of the sentence. Instead of 'was', 'were' should have been used for the collective noun 'team'. Collective nouns like 'team' take singular verbs when the whole team acts as one unit, but when the members act individually or the team is divided into two or more groups, a plural verb is used; here the team is divided in their opinions about the tournament; so, a plural verb should be used to follow the subject-verb-agreement rule. Hence, the answer is option a).
