Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. environment are not.
- The given sentence contains a grammatical error. The error is in the subject-verb agreement.
- The subject of the sentence is "environment," which is a singular noun, and requires a singular verb "is."
- However, the verb used in the sentence is "are," which is plural and doesn't agree with the singular subject.
- Therefore, the correct option is "our environment are."
The correct sentence is:
"We are all aware that our environment is not what it used to be."
