Answer 1

Answer:

in place of were it must be was. as it's written a long line.

Answer 2

Answer:

The error is in the part "of men and women were seen". Instead of "were", there will be "was".

Explanation:

• In the given sentence it is said about "a long line of men and women".
• Men and women are plural, but the phrase "a long line" always takes singular verb.
• Therefore "a long line of men and women" will take singular verb with it.
• But in the given sentence the verb "were" is used which is a plural verb.
• So here the verb "were" is incorrect.
• The correct verb will be "was", which is a singular verb.
• Thus the sentence will be "At last, late in the afternoon a long line of men and women was seen moving towards the Chowra Bazar.

Hence, the error is in the part "of men and women were seen".
