Answer 1

Answer:

A. Violent video games like Grand Theft Auto are a perpetual sources of controversy.

Explanation:

Option A contains a grammatical error because there is incorrect use of the article "a" for a subsequent plural word.

The correct answer can be correctly rewritten like this:

Violent video games like Grand Theft Auto are perpetual sources of controversy.

Violent video games like Grand Theft Auto are a perpetual source of controversy.
