Answer 1

Sentence 3

Should be "think" not "thinks"

Answer 2

Answer: C) Sentence 3.

Explanation: Subject-verb agreement means the subject and verb must have the same number (both singular or both plural). From the given options, the sentence that has a subject-verb agreement error, is the corresponding to option C, because the subject is "neither he nor his parents" (plural subject) and the verb is "thinks" when it should be "think" (plural form).
