Answer & Explanation

Click "Check Answer" to reveal
Correct Answer: Option A — The college offer
The Rule: Singular vs. Plural
In English grammar, the verb must match the subject in number.

The Subject: "The college" is a singular noun (one entity).

The Verb: "Offer" is the plural form of the verb.

The Correction: For a singular subject in the third person, you must add an -s to the verb.

Corrected Sentence: "The college offers all the courses of arts and humanity but no courses of science."
Breaking Down the Other Options
B) the courses: This is correct. "Courses" is plural, which fits the context of multiple subjects.

C) of arts and humanity: This is grammatically acceptable, though "humanities" (plural) is more common in academic titles.

D) but no courses of science: This is a perfectly fine way to show a contrast.

Quick Tip for Spotting Errors
If you are unsure, try replacing the subject with a pronoun:

You wouldn't say: "It offer..." ❌

You would say: "It offers..." ✅
