There is an error in the italicized portion of the passage below. Choose the option that best corrects this error.

  1. that be
  2. that aren’t
  3. that are one
  4. that is one
  5. that was one
Explanation
Answer: D - There is a collection of books entitled “Many Ways to Succeed” that is one of the most unread series in the library. This sentence lacks subject-verb agreement. Since “collection” is referencing a singular noun, the use of “is” is the correct helping verb. If the subject of the sentence were “books”, the use of “are” would be needed.
