<p>1) The entire city, along with several nearby towns, is visual to anyone willing to climb the 126 steps to the top of the tower.</p>
<p>Why the first sentence is wrong? I can't detect an error!</p>
<p>2) Although the conference is over, the Mexican representative, like the other representatives, have declined to comment on the new trade agreement.</p>
<p>Why the second is wrong? I can't detect error here as well...</p>
<p>Where did you get this question? and what are the answers?</p>
<p>I’m guessing for number 1, “visual” is wrong - it has to be visible? </p>
<p>For number two, “have declined to comment” has to be “has declined to comment.”</p>
<p>Don’t take my word for it though, I may be wrong.</p>
<p>The above poster is right.</p>
<p>Yeah. When you are describing the state of being able to be seen, “visible” is correct, not visual. Visual acumen, beautiful visuals, vs. visibility, or visible mountains.</p>
<p>For the second sentence, what you have is a garden variety case of subject-verb agreement. Mexican representative is a singular noun, and despite the comma’d section “like the other representatives”, the verb is applied to the singular representative. So have should be changed to “has”.</p>
<p>Yep! Can’t say much more than what Steven F said.</p>
<p>Yes! Sure! How could I not notice an error in second sentence! The error in the first sentence can be refered as a “diction error”. Thanks guys.</p>
