An English passage contains the sentence: 'The team of researchers, despite facing numerous setbacks, are continuing their work.'

What is the error?

  1. Tense consistency; 'are continuing' should be 'have continued'.
  2. Subject-verb agreement; 'team' is singular and requires 'is'.
  3. Punctuation; the commas around the interrupter are unnecessary.
  4. Pronoun clarity; 'their' could refer to 'setbacks' or 'researchers'.
