Find the Error.The Managing Director (A), together with (B) his heads of different departments (C),have been (D) preparing a new budget.
Correct answer: D. Have been
- A. The Managing Director
- B. Together with
- C. Different departments
- D. Have been
Explanation
The main subject of the sentence is 'The Managing Director', which is singular. The phrase 'together with his heads of different departments' serves as additional information and does not alter the subject-verb agreement. Therefore, the verb should be singular to match the singular subject: 'has been' instead of 'have been'.Option A: The subject 'The Managing Director' is singular and correctly identified, so no error here.Option B: The phrase 'together with' correctly introduces additional information but does not change the verb form requirement.Option C: The phrase 'different departments' is part of the modifying phrase and does not affect the verb agreement.Option D: 'have been' is incorrect because it is a plural verb form, while the subject is singular, requiring 'has been'.
