Question

Identify the error and supply correction for this sentence from an economic analysis.
The relationships of the country's inflation rate and the GDP growth was analysed.
Use the given format for your response. (Error / Correction)

Accepted Answer

## Model Answer Error: **was** / Correction: **were** (subject is plural — "relationships … and the GDP growth" takes a plural verb). ## Explanation When a subject consists of two nouns joined by *and*, the verb must be plural. Here, "relationships … and the GDP growth" is a compound subject, so "was" (singular) must be replaced with "were" (plural). This tests subject-verb agreement.
