Correct Answer: has won


Solution : The error lies in the fourth option.

The error is in the subject-verb agreement. Since the subject is a compound subject (Both Reeta and Ronika), the verb should also be in the plural form. The correct verb form is have instead of has.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Both Reeta and Ronika have won the dance competition this year."
