Correct Answer: There are many good tunes


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Explanation: In the original sentence, the phrase "There's many good tunes" contains a subject-verb agreement error. The subject "many good tunes," is considered plural, but the verb "there's" is singular. To correct this, we need to use a plural verb to match the plural subject. The fourth option maintains the subject-verb agreement by using the plural form "are" with the plural subject "many good tunes." It ensures grammatical accuracy and clarity in conveying the idea that numerous good tunes are played on an old violin.

So, the correct sentence would be: " There are many good tunes played on an old violin."
