    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 e Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The error is in subject–verb agreement. Subject: → “The committee” (singular) Phrase: → “along with…” is not part of subject So verb must be singular: Incorrect → have expressed Correct → has expressed Key Rule: “along with / as well as / together with” do NOT change subject number Thus, error is in part (a).
