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. Mark (E) if the sentence contains no error.
Neither John nor his (A)/ sisters are aware of the (B)/ surprise party that their friends (C)/ is planning for them. (D)
Subject-verb agreement: "Neither John nor his sisters" is a plural subject, so the verb following it should also be plural. Incorrect verb form: "Is planning" is the singular third-person form of the verb, while the sentence requires the plural third-person form. Therefore, "is planning" should be corrected to "are planning" to maintain subject-verb agreement.
