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.
