Find the part of the sentence that contains an error:
The report’s emphasis on techno-optimism, while commendable, (1)/ overlook the structural inequities (2)/ that persist in data accessibility and digital literacy (3)/ across demographic and regional divides. (4)

Correct option is B

Option (2) contains an error.
Detailed explanation of error: The subject of the sentence is “The report’s emphasis” (singular). After a singular subject, the verb must be singular as well. But the sentence uses “overlook” (base form/plural verb), which creates subject–verb agreement error. The correct verb should be “overlooks”.
Correct sentence: The report’s emphasis on techno-optimism, while commendable, overlooks the structural inequities that persist in data accessibility and digital literacy across demographic and regional divides.
Grammatical rule used: Subject–Verb Agreement
· Singular subject → verb takes -s/-es in present tense.
· Example: The policy addresses inequality. (NOT “address”)
· Information booster / exception:
· Intervening phrases like “while commendable” do not change the subject. Always match the verb with the main subject, not the words in between.
