• Identifying the Error: The error in this sentence lies in the subject-verb agreement. The verb "is" should be changed to "are" to ensure that it agrees with the plural subject "Many of my classmates along with their parents."


• Corrected Sentence: Many of my classmates along with their parents are arriving early to decorate the party room.

• Choosing the correct answer: In this context, option A is the most suitable choice as it aligns with the subject of multiple people bringing gifts for others.

• Identifying the error: The error in this sentence lies in subject-verb agreement. The subject "Mike" is singular, so the verb should be singular as well. Therefore, "have" should be changed to "has" to correct the sentence.



• Corrected sentence: Mike, like many other students, has been trying to decide on the best gift to buy.



• Reasoning: The verb "have" is plural and does not agree with the singular subject "Mike." Changing it to "has" makes the sentence grammatically correct.
