Question 103

Spot the agreement error in the relative clause: The bicycles that belongs to the rental shop are painted blue.

  1. Belongs should be belong because that refers to bicycles.Correct answer
  2. That should be whom because bicycles are plural.
  3. Are should be is because shop is singular.
  4. No change is needed because the nearest noun controls both verbs.
