Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Answer: The error is in the part containing the words "are going to attain party".
Corrected sentence: None of them is going to attend the party tomorrow.
Subject–verb agreement: In this formal correction, "none" is treated as singular, so the singular verb "is" should be used instead of "are."
Word choice: "attain party" is incorrect. The intended expression is "attend the party."
Note: In informal contexts, some speakers use a plural verb with "none" when it refers to people ("None of them are…"). However, the standard correction required here is the singular verb form.
