Find the part of the sentence that contains an error: Each of the committee members (1) / were obligated to disclose any potential conflict (2) / regardless of how trivial it might appear (3) / during the selection process. (4)
2
The error is in segment (2): “were obligated”.
The subject of the sentence is Each of the committee members. The pronoun each is singular and takes a singular verb — the prepositional phrase “of the committee members” does not change the number of the subject.
So the verb should be was obligated, not were obligated.
Corrected sentence: “Each of the committee members was obligated to disclose any potential conflict, regardless of how trivial it might appear, during the selection process.”
Hence the error lies in segment (2) — option (2).
