Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Correct Answer: (2)
Explanation:
• Part (2) contains a subject-verb agreement error.
• The head subject of the sentence is resistance (singular), not the object of the preposition hermeneutics.
• A singular subject requires a singular verb. Therefore, are must be replaced with is.
Correct Sentence: The narrator's resistance to patriarchal hermeneutics is not simply polemical but deeply embedded in the rhythm and counterpoint of her syntax.
