Question : Find the part of the given sentence that has an error in it. If there is no error, choose 'No Error'.
Your success were short-lived and had disastrous outcomes.
Option 1: No Error
Option 2: had disastrous outcomes
Option 3: short-lived and
Option 4: your success were
Correct Answer: your success were
Solution : The fourth option is correct.
In this sentence, the subject is success , which is a singular noun. To maintain proper agreement, the verb that follows should also be singular. In the original sentence, were is a plural verb, which is incorrect in this context.
The correct singular form of the verb (to be) in the past tense is (was) .
Therefore, the corrected sentence reads, " Your success was short-lived and had disastrous outcomes".
