At 9.30,option a is also a correct sentence
9:31 A and D is the correct answer. ''carnivores'' is a plural noun so ''Is'' ke jagah ''Are" hoga. correct me if im wrong.

Carnivore is used to convey the collection of animal. But here "carnivores" is used which makes it plural. Thus the option "A and D" is correct.

A& D are right choices. As carnivores is not a collective noun, but plural. So "are" goes with Carnivores.
9:29 Carnivores 'are'. So the answer is 1st option A & D.

at 9:08 sir once you are saying carnivores is plural, then you're saying it is collective noun. Which is correct?

In the 3rd question you have contradicted your previous video, please confirm which one is correct.
At 16:07 the price of oil and other fuel components And if r consiering and , and is a plural and we will use plural verb acc to ur previous video
6.11 Sir option A says "Passing disparaging comments on a colleague's integrity invites severe and equally intense backlash. " So, if we ask here - "What" invites? The answer will be "Passing disparaging comments" , not just "disparaging comments"... Nd "Passing disparaging comments" is an act, which is singular, so it will take singular verb. Hence option A is a correct sentence. Right? Nd I'm unable to understand the meaning of option B. - "Many a bright boy..." ??? Can you please explain?

for any sentence correction question, first understand the meaning of the sentence. don't follow subject verb agreement rule blindly. The verbal part is to test your ability in comprehending sentences, not to test your grammar skills. Once you are able to deduce the meaning, then it becomes easy for you to trace errors present in the sentence.
