Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Trend-analysts experts specializes.

The error lies in part 1 of the statement because of the wrong use of the verb.

  • We need to replace 'specializes' with 'specialize' to make the statement grammatically correct.
  • The subject 'experts' is plural and hence a plural verb is required.
  • So we need to use 'specialize' at the place of 'specializes'.

The correct sentence will be-

Trend-analysts experts specialize in predicting what will be in and what will be out.
