Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The sentence is: "Film viewers claim that the number of scenes depicting alcohol consumption have increased dramatically over the last decade."

2. The subject of the clause starting from (b) is "the number of scenes".

3. The phrase "the number of" is singular, so the verb must be singular as well.

4. The error is in part (c) where the verb "have" is used. It should be "has" to agree with the singular subject.

5. Correct sentence: "Film viewers claim that the number of scenes depicting alcohol consumption **has** increased dramatically over the last decade."
