\(Error\)	\(Correction\)

Answer 1

Step 1: Isolate the verb in each option:
B → 'are' (correct, plural subject 'heaps'); C → 'is' (correct, 'Mathematics' is a singular-only noun); A → 'has' (subject 'a number of questions' requires a plural verb).

Step 2: Confirm the rule:
'A number of' + plural noun always pairs with a plural verb — this is a standard, frequently tested subject-verb agreement rule.

Final Answer:
(A) is the incorrect sentence.
