(B) meeting between the labor union and management have ended, and

(C) meeting among the labor union and management has ended, but

(D) meeting between the labor union and management has ended, but

(E) meeting between the labor union and management has ended, and



The Correct Answer is D

Explanation: The error in this sentence occurs at the word “have,” which is a plural verb. However, its subject is the singular noun clause “the meeting between the labor union and management,” meaning “have” should be changed to the singular “has” to make the sentence work grammatically. Always be on the lookout for mismatched subjects and verbs on the SAT, since it is one of the most common errors.
