OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
Amelia Earhart, the first woman who crossed the Atlantic Ocean in a solo flight, has paid a high price for her passion for aviation.
A. a solo flight, has paid a high price
Correct!
The original sentence correctly observes Subject Verb Agreement. The singular subject Amelia Earhart is matched by the singular verb has paid.
B. solo flights, has paid a high price
Incorrect.
Although this answer choice is grammatically correct, this answer choice changes the meaning of the original sentence, by changing the word flight to flights. The original sentence states that there was one such flight. This answer choice states that there were at least two.
C. a solo flight, has paid high prices
Incorrect.
Although this answer choice is grammatically correct, this answer choice unnecessarily changes the meaning of the original sentence by changing the phrase a high price to high prices.
D. solo flight, have paid high prices
Incorrect.
By changing the singular verb has to the plural have, this answer choice creates a Subject Verb Agreement mistake.
What helps identify this question as a Subject Verb Agreement question as well as identify the mistake is the following Stop Sign: A long, complex subject or a great distance between subject and verb
E. flying solo, have paid a high price
Incorrect.
By changing the singular verb has to the plural have, this answer choice creates a Subject Verb Agreement mistake.
In addition, this answer choice is stylistically flawed and doesn't fit. By changing solo flight to flying solo this answer choice creates the awkward phrase in flying solo, which doesn't fit well into the original sentence.
