An English passage contains the sentence: 'The team of researchers, despite facing numerous setbacks, are continuing their work.'
What is the error?
- Tense consistency; 'are continuing' should be 'have continued'.
- Subject-verb agreement; 'team' is singular and requires 'is'.
- Punctuation; the commas around the interrupter are unnecessary.
- Pronoun clarity; 'their' could refer to 'setbacks' or 'researchers'.
