• For English Grammar questions, we can determine what an error in a sentence is by looking at the grammar, tense and structure of a sentence.
• According to the subject verb agreement, when the subject is plural, singular form of the verb is to be used.
• Hence, the word 'plays' will be replaced by 'play' in the sentence above.
