Question

Find the part of the sentence that contains an error:

Neither did the committee acknowledge the financial irregularities, (1) nor did they consider the repeated warnings (2) issued by auditors, which, according to reports, (3) has been ignored for a long time. (4)

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The sentence is a complex sentence with a relative clause "which, according to reports, has been ignored for a long time."

2. The subject of the relative clause "which" refers to "the repeated warnings" (plural).

3. The verb "has been ignored" is singular, which is incorrect because the subject "warnings" is plural.

4. The correct verb form should be "have been ignored" to agree with the plural subject.

5. Therefore, the error is in part (3).

**Answer:** (3)
