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

This is the correct option as this part of the sentence has the error. After expressions like 'one-half', a plural verb 'live' should have been used in place of singular verb 'lives' when a plural noun follows 'of'. So, to make the sentence correct, singular verb 'lives' should be replaced by plural verb 'live'.
