Find the part of the sentence that contains an error:
Each participant who registered online for the event (1)/ were given a welcome kit (2)/ along with the program schedule and map (3)/ at the helpdesk near the entrance. (4)/
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The error in the sentence is in part (2): "were given a welcome kit".
Explanation:
Subject-Verb Agreement: The subject of the sentence is "Each participant".
Singular Subject: The word "Each" is a distributive pronoun and is always considered singular. Therefore, it requires a singular verb.
Therefore, the plural auxiliary verb "were" should be replaced with the singular auxiliary verb "was".
