Correct Answer: 1


Solution : The error is in the first option: is uppermost on my mind.

The phrase "is uppermost on my mind" should be changed to "are uppermost on my mind" to match the subject "thoughts," which is plural. The subject "Thoughts" requires the plural verb "are" instead of the singular "is", according to subject-verb agreement.

The correct sentence should be "Thoughts about the slaughtered children are uppermost on my mind."
