Correct Answer: of great technology that had


Solution : The error lies in the first option.

Explanation : The correct construction is "that has been born" rather than "that had born". The past perfect tense, indicated by "had" is typically used when establishing a sequence of events in the past. In this case, it's more appropriate to use the present perfect tense as technology still exists. Since technology is a singular subject it should be followed by a singular verb "has".

So, the correct sentence would be: "There are already many examples of great technology that has been born in the United States."
