Where is the grammar error

Question

With unemployment running at 11%, the city government essentially bankrupt, and a population actually falling as young people leave in droves, there are few bright spots in Bartovia’s future.

Answer 1

The grammar error in the sentence is the use of "essentially bankrupt." It should be "is essentially bankrupt." Therefore, the corrected sentence would be: "With unemployment running at 11%, the city government is essentially bankrupt, and a population actually falling as young people leave in droves, there are few bright spots in Bartovia’s future."
