Correct Answer: (1)


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

The word factor should be in its plural form factors to agree with the phrase one of the most. The phrase one of the is always followed by a plural noun, and not by any singular noun . A verb after this phrase is always singular as it always takes a plural noun.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "One of the most important factors that contribute to the success of a person is his sincerity."
