Solution : The error is in the first option.
The phrase "is uppermost on my mind" should be changed to "are uppermost on my mind" to match the subject "thoughts," which is a plural noun. The subject " thoughts " requires the plural verb "are" instead of the singular "is," according to subject-verb agreement.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be "Thoughts about the slaughtered children are uppermost on my mind."
