Question
Spot The Error -Although all the kith and kin of Joshua were / sure of his innocence yet little did / they know that the police / was seriously looking for him.
Solution
The error in the sentence is in the use of the verb 'was'. Since 'police' is considered a collective noun, it should be followed by 'were' instead of 'was'. So, the correct sentence should be: "Although all the kith and kin of Joshua were sure of his innocence yet little did they know that the police were seriously looking for him."
