Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. who were shouting.
The error is in "who were shouting".
Since the subject of the sentence is "Ravi" (singular), the verb should be singular as well.
Instead of "were," it should be "was" to maintain subject-verb agreement.
Corrected sentence: It was Ravi, not his friends, who was shouting at late hours last night.
