Answer 1

The incorrect verb in the sentence is "is".

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

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