Question : Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error. If there is no error, select 'No error'.
Harry's eyes watered in / the chill as they soar upwards; he / could see nothing below now.
Option 1: could see nothing below now.
Option 2: the chill as they soar upwards; he
Option 3: Harry's eyes watered in
Option 4: No error
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."
