Find errors in the following sentence:
Correct answer: B. Are practising very hard
- A. The captain, along with his team
- B. Are practising very hard
- C. For the
- D. Forthcoming matches
Explanation
The main subject of the sentence is 'the captain,' which is singular. The phrase 'along with his team' is a parenthetical expression and does not change the subject-verb agreement. Therefore, the verb should agree with the singular subject 'the captain,' requiring the use of 'is' instead of 'are.' This makes Option B incorrect because it uses 'are' instead of 'is.'Options A, C, and D do not contain any grammatical errors and are therefore correct as they appear in the sentence.
