Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.

The main subject of the sentence is singular, as "the captain" and "his team" are treated as a singular unit, as they are combined with the help of "along" . Hence, the verb should be singular in accordance with the first subject .

The correct sentence is, "The captain along with his team is practising very hard for the forthcoming match."

Hence, the correct answer is the second option.
