Which of the following sentences contains a plural spelling error?

B. Several man helped to lift and move the refrigerator.

It should be: Several men helped to lift and move the refrigerator.

Sentence B doesn't have a matching noun with its modifier because the word "several" is an adjective of number, which indicates the noun should be plural: "men".

The sentence written in a singular form would have been: A man helped to lift and move the refrigerator.
