A
Every cereal bowl and casserole

B
dish have slipped out of Sheila ’s soapy

C
hands and shattered on the hard tile of the kitchen floor

D
Sheila really needs to buy a dishwasher.
Solution
Explanation:

The error is in part (b) of the sentence:

Original: dish have slipped out of Sheila ’s soapy

Corrected: dishes have slipped out of Sheila ’s soapy

The error lies in the subject-verb agreement. The subject "cereal bowl and casserole dishes" is plural, so the verb should also be plural. Therefore, the correct verb form is "have" instead of "has". Additionally, it should be "dishes" instead of "dish" to maintain consistency with the plural subject.
