Identify the part of the sentence that contains a grammatical error. A. The company's data, B. which has been collected and analyzed C. for over a decade, D. support the conclusion that the new strategy is ineffective.
support the conclusion that the new strategy is ineffective.
We must find the segment that carries a grammatical error in subject-verb agreement.
The grammatical subject of the main clause is 'data'. In formal English 'data' is treated as singular here (a single body of information), so it requires a singular verb.
Part D uses the plural verb 'support', which does not agree with the singular subject 'data'; it should be 'supports'.
Therefore the error lies in part D, making option 4 the answer.
Part A, 'The company's data', correctly forms the possessive with an apostrophe.
Part B, 'which has been collected and analyzed', is a correct relative clause in the present-perfect passive.
Part C, 'for over a decade', is a correct prepositional phrase of duration.
Hence the part containing the error is support the conclusion that the new strategy is ineffective.
