Which of the following sentences contains an error?
1.
The number of students are increasing every year.
2.
She has been working here since 2019.
3.
Neither the teacher nor the pupils were late.
4.
Bread and butter is his usual breakfast.
Correct Answer: The number of students are increasing every year.
Sentence (a) is wrong: "the number of" is singular and requires "is" — "The number of students is increasing." Option (c) correctly uses "were" because the nearer subject "pupils" is plural; (d) treats "bread and butter" as one item.
