Correct Answer: the chill as they soar upwards; he


Solution : The error lies in the second option.

Explanation : The error lies in the subject-verb agreement. The subject "the chill" is singular, and the verb "soar" should be singular to match it. However, the verb is in the plural form "soar" which is a disagreement. To correct this, the verb should be in the singular form, "soars".

So, the corrected sentence would be: "Harry's eyes watered in the chill as it soars upwards; he could see nothing below now."
