Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Answer: The incorrect part is the word "is".
Explanation:
Identify the subject: The subject is "kinds", which is plural (the full phrase is "All kinds of stationery").
Check verb agreement: The verb "is" is singular and does not agree with the plural subject "kinds."
Correction: Use the plural verb "are." Correct sentence: "All kinds of stationery are available here."
Tip: When a phrase like "all kinds of ..." is the subject, base verb agreement on the head noun "kinds," not the noun in the prepositional phrase.
