Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The error is in part D: 'offers' should be 'offer'. The subject is 'they' (referring to 'the big discounts'), which is plural, so the verb must also be plural. 'They offers' is grammatically incorrect; it should be 'they offer'. This is a subject-verb agreement error.
