Which section of the following passage needs to be edited for incorrect spelling, incorrect grammar, inappropriate word choice or wordiness?

The contribution to the national deficit by
Medicare, Social Security,
the Defense Department and numerous
other expenditures worry some people.

Explanation

Answer:D - Corrected version: other expenditures worries some people.

Worry should be changed to worries. Contribution is the subject of the sentence, and even though many items are listed, contribution is still singular. Cutting out the non-essential words between the subject and verb makes it easier to be sure that they agree.
