Correct Answer: As there were


Solution : The error lies in the first option .

The sentence contains an error in the subject-verb agreement, as "were" should be replaced with "was" to match the singular subject "one cab" to make it grammatically accurate.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "As there was only one cab available and there was surge pricing, we decided to share it."
