Identify the part of the sentence that contains a grammatical error.
In Woolf's imaginary legacy (1)/, the room functions not just as sanctuary (2)/ but also as a discursive axis (3)/ where womanhood collapse into multiplicity. (4)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Correct Answer: (4)
Explanation:
• Part (4) contains a subject-verb agreement error.
• The noun womanhood is an abstract, singular noun and requires a singular verb in the present tense.
• Therefore, replace the plural verb collapse with the singular verb collapses.
• Correct sentence: In Woolf's imaginary legacy, the room functions not just as sanctuary but also as a discursive axis where womanhood collapses into multiplicity.
