Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.
"Were" should be replaced with "was", as the whole block of flats is considered singular, so it should be followed by a singular verb. Moreover, when two nouns are connected by the term "including" the verb must agree with the first subject i.e., the whole block of flats.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The whole block of flats, including two shops, was destroyed in fire."
