2. Participating in
3. the Republic Day Parade
4. by many people

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : are considered an honour

The erroneous part of the sentence is 'are considered an honour'.

• The given sentence is talking about a single task of a specific day - the Republic Day Parade.
• The use of the plural verb 'are' in this case is incorrect and hence should be replaced with the singular verb 'is' to make the sentence grammatically correct.
• Therefore the correct answer is option 1.

Correct Sentence: Participating in the Republic Day Parade is considered an honour by many people.
