The company’s goal are is to expand its market share and customer loyalty.
Step-by-step explanation of the answer:
- We need to identify the error by finding the part of the sentence that does not follow the rule of subject-verb agreement. 🔎
- We need to supply correction by changing the verb form to match the number and person of the subject. ✏
- The error in the sentence is the verb “are”, which is plural, but the subject “goal” is singular. ❌
- The correction for the sentence is to change the verb “are” to “is”, which is singular, and also change the possessive adjective “their” to “its”, which matches the singular subject “company”. ✅
