Correct Answer: who shares a


Solution : The error lies in the second option.

The error lies in the subject-verb agreement. The relative pronoun "who" refers to "people", which is a plural noun. The verb should also be in the plural form, resulting in "share" instead of "shares". The correct sentence ensures proper grammatical agreement between the subject and the verb.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: A community is a group of people who share a common culture.
