Identify the incorrect sentence.
All of the cities in California is being affected by the rain yesterday.
The task is to spot the sentence that breaks a rule of standard English grammar.
In option 1, the subject is 'All of the cities', which is plural, so it needs a plural verb, not the singular 'is'.
There is a second, more serious error: the phrase 'is being affected ... yesterday' mixes a present continuous verb with the past-time marker 'yesterday'.
A correct version would read 'All of the cities in California were affected by the rain yesterday', using a plural past-tense verb that agrees with the time reference.
Because 'yesterday' points to completed past time, the simple past 'were affected' is required, not any present or continuous form.
Option 2 ('Seven people were rescued') is correct: plural subject with the plural past verb 'were'.
Options 3 and 4 use 'Half of the boxes are' and 'Some of the TV programs are'; here the verb correctly agrees with the plural nouns 'boxes' and 'programs' that follow 'of'.
Only the first sentence contains grammatical errors, so it is the incorrect sentence.
The incorrect sentence is All of the cities in California is being affected by the rain yesterday.
