Question
In each question given below, there is a sentence which
has been divided into five parts. One of these parts is not grammatically correct and needs a correction. Read the sentence carefully and mark the option with the part of the sentence that contains an error Neither the opposition leaders nor the ruling party (a) / has agreed to the amendments proposed in the bill (b) / which have already sparked intense debates in parliament (c) / and has polarized opinions among different political factions (d) / since it was introduced last month (e) /.Solution
This entire clause is referring to "the amendments" (plural). That’s clear from: "which have sparked..." (plural verb) But then: "and has polarized..." (singular verb) If "the amendments" have sparked debates, then they also polarized opinions — same subject, still plural. So, the verb "has" in part (d) should be "have".
