    Solution

    Here, after the second ‘there’, the noun is ‘doubts’, which is plural. So, instead of the singular verb ‘is’, the plural verb ‘are’ should be used. There is scepticism and there are doubts whether wider consultations would result in cacophony, making the task of arriving at a solution much more difficult.
