Question

    Direction : In each of the questions, a sentence has

    been divided into four parts, one of which may contain an error. Identify that fragment and mark it as your answer. The words in bold are contextually and grammatically correct. Mark (E) if the sentence contains no error. The team captain, along with his players, (A) / were celebrating (B) / their victory (C) / at the stadium. (D) / No Error (E)
    A D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B A Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E E Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The verb "were" should be replaced with "was" to agree with the singular subject "captain." Since the team captain is part of the subject, the verb should be singular.
