The committee have / submitted its report / to the chairman yesterday.

Single correct option

Identify the part that contains an error: The committee have / submitted its report / to the chairman yesterday.
  1. A. submitted its report
  2. B. to the chairman yesterday
  3. C. The committee have
  4. D. No error
Show answer and solution

Answer: (C) The committee have

Committee is treated as a single unit here (its report), so the verb must be singular: 'has'. The later parts are fine, and the mismatch of 'have' with 'its' shows the error is in the first part.
