Correct Answer: foods that is fatty,


Solution : The error lies in the fourth option.

Explanation : The subject foods is plural, so the verb should also be plural. In this case, is (singular) does not agree with the plural subject. The correct form is "foods that are fatty". This correction ensures the proper subject-verb agreement.

So, the correct sentence would be: "Humans are drawn to foods that are fatty , sweet, rich, and complex."
