Answer:

The committee debates how to fund their ambitious plans

Explanation:

The underlined word should be "The committee debate how to fund their ambitious plans".

If so, then the type of error present in the sentence is that a collective noun uses the plural verb "debate" which is wrong.

It can be fixed by giving it a singular verb "debates" and rewritten as "The committee debates how to fund their ambitious plans"

torisob [31]
The next soliloquy Hamlet has after seeing the ghost of his father is in Act II, Scene ii after the players, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, have left him alone. In this soliloquy ("what a rogue and peasant slave am I"), Hamlet expresses his frustration with  the fact that the actor could create tears in an instant about a fictional character, but he has lost his actual father and cannot even do anything about it. Through this he also decides on the plan to try and catch Claudius' guilt.
