Correct Answer: (1)


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

The error is in the subject-verb agreement. "Inning" should be replaced with "innings" because "innings" is a singular noun and "was" is the singular past tense form of the verb "to be". In this case, "was" is used to match the singular subject "innings". In cricket, the term innings refers to a period in which a team or player bats. In cricket and rounders, "innings" is both singular and plural.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The first innings of the match was very sensational."
