Option 2 : Only c
The correct answer is Only c.
- There is an error in part c of the sentence.
- 'The number of' refers to a definite number and always requires a singular helping verb.
- It is of the form- The number of +noun (plural) +helping verb (singular)
- 'A number of' means something that is indefinite in number.
- It is of the form- A+ number of (noun plural) + helping verb (plural)
- In the given sentence, 'have' should be replaced by the singular form of verb i.e., has.
The correct sentence - Part of the proposed increase in state health care spending is due to higher emergency room admissions, since the number of people without health insurance has grown steadily since the mid-1990s and, at nearly 44 million, are at a record high.
