OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
The audience in soccer matches are oftentimes hard to control.
A. The audience in soccer matches are oftentimes
Audience is a singular noun. While the meaning of audience is that there is more than one person, grammatically audience is a singular noun. The plural form is audiences.
So here's our mistake: the singular subject audience does not agree with the plural verb are.
B. The audience in a soccer match are often
Audience is a singular noun. While the meaning of audience is that there is more than one person, grammatically audience is a singular noun. The plural form is audiences.
So here's our mistake: the singular subject audience does not agree with the plural verb are.
C. The audience in soccer matches is frequently
This answer choice corrects the original Subject Verb Agreement mistake, by changing the plural verb are to the singular verb is, to match the singular subject audience.
D. The audience in soccer matches is sometimes
Incorrect.
While this answer choice corrects the original mistake, it doesn't stop there and makes another change - replacing the original oftentimes with sometimes. This change is both unnecessary (oftentimes is not a mistake, so it shouldn't be corrected) and creates a change in meaning.
E. An audience in a soccer match is often
Incorrect.
While this answer choice corrects the original mistake, it replaces the original The with An, and changes soccer matches to a soccer match. These changes are unnecessary.
Since there's an answer choices that corrects the original mistake without making any further unnecessary changes, it is superior to this answer choice.
