Question

Identify which part of the sentence has an error:
The marching band, (A) which (B) performed in the parade (C) last Saturday, (D) are going to participate in a competition next month. (E) No error.

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D
• E. E

Answer 1

The correct option is D D

The sentence is about a 'marching band' which means we are talking about a single unit. Part A, B and C are correctly used in the sentence but part D) uses the verb 'are' which is incorrect. Though the band is a collection of musicians, we use it as a singular noun and so the correct verb to be used is 'is'.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D).
