I had just returned from a 15-minute coffee break when a shipments of oil filters, fan belts, spark plugs and hoses arrived.

Which word is grammatically incorrect in the statement?
15-minute
shipments
arrived
All words are correct

Answer:

Shipments

Step-by-step explanation:

It is plural when it shouldn’t be. If there were multiple shipments, the speaker should have written “when shipments of oil filter...” not “when a shipments.”
