1. Among bees   occur a highly elaborate form of  
          A                     B                           C
            communication
                            D
The incorrect part of the sentence is Occur, because the subject is singular which is  “A highly elaborate form of communication” so the verb must be singular as well, it should replaced by “Occurs”.

2.  A home heated by solar energy  have special collectors
            A                                                     B                       C
on the roof to trap sunlight .
                                                D
The Incorrect one is A home, it must be replaced by homes. Since it is because the form is plural which is “have special collectors..” so it doesn’t match with the singular noun if the noun is a home.

3. Each number of  a binary system  are  formed of only  
                                          A                        B      C
            two symbols.
                   D
The wrong part is “are”, because the subject is singular so the verb must be in the singular verb as well. It must be changed by “Is”.

4. Scientists at the medical center  is trying to determine 
                                                                 A                  B
if there is a relationship between sacharine and cancer.
             C                                                        D
The incorrect one is “Is trying” because it doesn’t match with the subject, which is Scientists that’s plural. So, it must be replaced by verb “Are trying” because it is in line with the subject.

5. On the rim of Kilauea Volcano  in the Hawaian Islands                
A                                                          B
are a hotel  called the Volcano Hotel.
C                       D
The wrong part is “are”, it should be replaced by is. Since the verb “Are” doesn’t match with the Singular subject which is Rim.

6. The great digital advances of the electronic age , such 
            A
as the integrated circuitry and a microcomputer has
                                   B                                               C
been planted in tiny chips.
               D
The incorrect one is “Has” because the verb doesn’t match with the subject “The Great Digital”, meanwhile it must be replaced by have since it is describe more than 1 thing, they are Circuitry and Microcomputer.

7. There are many frequently mentioned reasons why                              
A                 B
     one out of four arrests invlove  a juvenile.
                                     C             D
The wrong one is “Involve” because it is talking about something that had already happened in the past, it can be seen by the sentence “one out of four arrests”. So, it must be changed by Involved.

8. Kepler's Laws, principles outlining planetary
            movement, was formulated based on 
                                    A       B                C
            observations made without a telescope .
                                           D
The incorrect part is was, it must be were, because the subject which is “Laws” is plural so the verb must be plural as well, not singular.

9. Only with two thirds vote by both houses  are the US                               
A                                                B
            congress able to override a presidential veto.
                                    C                                                 D
The wrong part in the sentence is “are” because it is doesn’t match with the subject, which is singular “Vote”. Further, two-thirds here means “Of a” so it is not plural. So it must be replaced by “Is”.

10. Of all the evidence that has piled up since Webster's                                                       
A
            paper was published there is no new ideas 
                                                            B        C
            to contradict  his original theory.
                  D

The incorrect part is “Is” because it doesn’t match with the subject “ideas” that is plural. So we have to change it with verb “Are”.
