Correct Answer: 3
Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.
Explanation: The subject "consignment" is a singular noun, so the verb should also be singular. In this case, "is" is the correct singular verb form, making the sentence grammatically accurate. The incorrect form "are" is the plural verb form and it doesn't agree with the singular subject "consignment".
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "A large consignment of books is expected."
