The patient was placed in the wheelchair with the fractured tibia.
A Verb tense agreement error
B Subject/verb agreement error
C Pronoun agreement error
D Modifier placement error
E Parallel structure error
My answer is c
No, sorry.
Does the wheelchair have a fractured tibia?
The correct answer is B: Subject/verb agreement error.
Explanation:
In the sentence, the subject "patient" is singular, while the verb "was placed" is in the past tense and matches the singular subject correctly. However, there is an additional phrase "with the fractured tibia" that confuses things. This phrase does not affect the subject/verb agreement.
The sentence should read: "The patient was placed in the wheelchair with the fractured tibia," which maintains subject/verb agreement by using the singular verb "was placed" with the singular subject "patient."
