Identify the error in the following sentence.

Storing bread in the refrigerator delays $\underset{A}{\underset{–}{drying}}$ and the growth of mold $\underset{B}{\underset{–}{butincrease}}$ the rate $\underset{C}{\underset{–}{atwhich}}$ the bread $\underset{D}{\underset{–}{losesflavor}}$. $\underset{E}{\underset{–}{Noerror}}$

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D
• E. E

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

B

The issue with this sentence is in the subject-verb agreement. Here the verb is underlined but not the subject, so the only correction we can make is to change 'increase' to 'increases'. So, 'B' is the error here. Option B is the answer.
