Determine whether the underlined portion of the sentence below is correct or whether it needs to be revised. Choose the correct option.

Sports commentators often provide informative and witty insight during games that enhance the sports-watching experience.
A . enhance the sports-watching experience.
B . enhance the experience.
C . enhances the sports-watching experience.
D . enhances the sports-watching experience for fans.
E . have enhanced the sports-watching experiences for fans.

Answer: C

Explanation:

The problem with this sentence is that the second action verb (i.e. enhance) needs to be singular (i.e. enhances) because this verb refers to “insight.” Some readers may believe that because there are two characteristics to the insight (i.e. informative and witty) there should be a plural form of the verb. Choice “enhances the sports-watching experience” and choice “enhances the sports-watching experience for fans” correct this agreement error of the verb; however, choice “enhances the sports-watching experience for fans” is wordy. Obviously, fans are the ones who watch sports, so why restate this. Choice “enhances the sports-watching experience” therefore is most direct and grammatically sound.
