    A She suggested that we should Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B leave early to avoid traffic, Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C but nobody were ready to move Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D no error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The error lies in the use of 'were' with 'nobody.' 'Nobody' is a singular subject and should be followed by the singular verb 'was' instead of 'were.' The correct sentence is: 'but nobody was ready to move.'
