If you find no error, your response should be indicated as (d).

- A(a)
- B(b)
- C(c)
- D(d) No error
Explanation
The faulty segment is (a), 'There have been a tornado watch.' The subject 'a tornado watch' is singular, so the verb must be singular: 'There has been a tornado watch issued.' The plural 'have' with a singular subject is the error. Hence (a) is correct.
