Correct Answer: there is a number


Solution : The first option is correct.

Explanation: The error in the sentence is the usage of (there is) in relation to a number of medications and therapies(Is) is used for singular subjects, while (are) is used for plural subjects. In this case, "medications and therapies" is plural, so it requires the plural verb (are).

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "To treat nightmare disorder, there are a number of medications and therapies."
