Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
(3)
Explanation:
The sentence says:
“The report… should have been submitted… were eventually uploaded…”
Here, the subject “The report” is singular, but the verb used is “were” (plural)
It should be:
“was eventually uploaded”
Correct sentence:
The report, which the internal auditor had insisted should have been submitted before the board meeting, was eventually uploaded two hours after the deadline.
Hindi explanation:
“report” एकवचन है, इसलिए “were” की जगह “was” होना चाहिए।
