The following sentence contains an error with subject-verb agreement. Select the incorrect verb. There is several baseball franchises, including the Chicago Cubs and the St. Louis Cardinals, that date back to the 1870s and 1880s

Answer 1

The incorrect verb in the sentence is "is."

The correct verb should be "are" to match the plural subject "several baseball franchises."

Corrected sentence: "There are several baseball franchises, including the Chicago Cubs and the St. Louis Cardinals, that date back to the 1870s and 1880s."
