    C includes burning and nausea Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    In the sentence "The probable side effects of paracetamol include burning and nausea", the subject is "side effects", which is plural. According to subject-verb agreement rules, when the subject is plural, the verb must also be plural. "Include" is the plural form of the verb, matching the plural subject "side effects". Hence, the sentence needs no improvement because the subject and verb agree correctly.
