    C owners have their teams, Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D like South Africa, is not so bright. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E no error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    In (4), replace "is" with "are." The subject of the sentence is "The chances," which is plural. Therefore, the verb should also be plural ("are") to maintain subject-verb agreement.The sentence would then read:"The chances of The Hundred spreading to other countries where IPL owners have their teams, like South Africa, are not so bright."Therefore, (4) is the right answer.
