Question : Find the part of the given sentence that has an error in it. If there is no error, choose 'No error.'
Fires in California is sounding alarm bells that cannot be ignored.
Option 1: sounding alarm bells
Option 2: that cannot be ignored
Option 3: fires in California is
Option 4: no error
Correct Answer: fires in California is
Solution : The error lies in the third option.
The subject fires is plural, so the verb should also be plural to maintain subject-verb agreement. In the original sentence, is (singular) is used instead of are (plural). The corrected version ensures subject-verb agreement by using the plural form are to match the plural subject fires.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Fires in California are sounding alarm bells that cannot be ignored."
