Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. is likely to enjoy.

  1. The error lies in this segment of the statement because of the Incorrect usage of "Subject-Verb Agreement".
  2. We need to replace "Is" with "Are" for making the statement grammatically correct.

  • As the subject of the given verb is plural we need to use the plural verb for that subject.
  • Subject singular - Verb singular.
