Identify the error: 'The inflation rate have increased significantly, and economists warn that the purchasing power of middle-class families are declining rapidly.'

The correct answer is C: Both A and B. 'Inflation rate' (singular) requires 'has', and 'purchasing power' (singular) requires 'is'. Both subjects are singular and require singular verbs.

Correct the sentence: 'Despite having extensive experience, but he failed the interview.'

The correct answer is A: Despite having extensive experience, he failed the interview.. 'Despite' already expresses contrast; adding 'but' creates redundancy. Remove 'but' for correct construction.

Which phrase best completes the sentence: 'The new employee's constant mistakes made the manager realize that he was _______.'

The correct answer is B: evasive; contrived. Evasive explanation that is contrived creates internal logical consistency showing skepticism.
