Which choice best corrects the grammatical error in the sentence?
A. The artist’s work, a series of abstract paintings, is known for their vibrant colors and expressive textures.
B. The artist’s work, a series of abstract paintings, are known for its vibrant colors and expressive textures.
C. The artist’s work, a series of abstract paintings, is known for their vibrant colors and expressive textures.
D. The artist’s work, a series of abstract paintings, are known for its vibrant color and expressive textures.
Correct Answer is: A
The subject of the sentence is "work," which is singular. Therefore, the verb should also be singular, "is." The pronoun "their" correctly agrees in number with the plural noun "paintings." The other choices are incorrect. Choice B uses the incorrect pronoun, "its." Choices C and D use the incorrect verb, "are."
