Do you see any errors in the grammar here?

Answer 7

Sentence 1: "[1] Tia and Jackie are partners in science class."

This sentence has no grammar errors so this cannot be an option we can choose. It says "Choose the sentence that has a subject-verb grammar error" The only sentence that has a grammatical error would be sentence 4 because, "[4] Ultimately, they decides to study fossilization." The subject in that sentence is plural ("they") while the verb is conjugated in the third person singular ("decides").
