Identify Spot the error in the given sentence.
"The principal, along with the teachers, have approved the new syllabus."
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The error is in the verb "have approved" because the subject of the sentence is "The principal", which is singular. The phrase "along with the teachers" is a parenthetical phrase and does not affect the number of the subject. Therefore, the singular verb "has approved" should be used to agree with the singular subject "The principal".
