Correct Answer: 3
Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.
There is an error in the subject-verb agreement in the sentence.
The verb were should be replaced with was to convey the intended meaning that there was a decoration on the wall, which was a painting of a horse. The subject in the sentence The decoration is singular. Hence, the verb should also be singular. So, were should be replaced with was .
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: The decoration on the wall was a horse painting.
