    The incorrect part is (4) "have a different opinion."Explanation:The subject "each of the members" is singular, so the verb should also be singular."Have" should be replaced with "has" to maintain subject-verb agreement.The correct sentence should be: "The committee is divided on the issue, each of the members has a different opinion."
