Find the part of the sentence that contains an error: Rarely if ever have there been a time when dissent was met with such institutional disregard as in the present administration.

1. (1)
2. (2)
3. (3)
4. (4)

Correct answer: (1)

Solution

The error is in part (1): "have there been a time" is incorrect because "time" is singular, so it should be "has there been a time" or the sentence should be restructured. The rest of the sentence is grammatically acceptable.
