Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The error is in the second part of the sentence.
Explanation:
In this sentence, "Every member" is a singular subject, so the verb should also be singular. The correct verb form should be "has been", which agrees with the singular subject. The incorrect usage in the original sentence, "have been" is a plural form that doesn't match the singular subject.
So, the correct sentence would be : "Every member of the committee has been present at all the meetings."
