Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The error is in the third part of the sentence.
Explanation: The subject "large balloons" is plural, and the verb "is" is singular. To maintain the subject-verb agreement, the verb should be plural. Therefore, the correct form should be "are" instead of "is".
So, the correct sentence would be: "The large balloons I bought for Christmas are very nice."
