Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The correct answer is the first option.
There is a subject-verb agreement error in the sentence. The subject understanding should be followed by a verb in the singular form, not the plural form are. Here, " understanding could be knowing" is the correct alternative because it uses the verb "could be" to match the subject understanding.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: Seeing may be believing, but understanding could be knowing.
