In many cases, you can't nail down the spelling of a word without knowing
what it means.
You didn't tell us what your word means, so there are different possibilities.
Here are a few:
-- In old German, a wagon driver was a wagner (VOG-nair) or <u>weiner</u> (VEIN-air).
As the Yiddish language (spoken among German Jews) developed from old high
German, some of them used the same word 'weiner' to mean 'one who makes or
sells wine'. The word came to the New World as a family name, spelled "Viner",
(as in my first high school crush).
-- The ancient city of Vienna, now the capital of modern Austria, is called "Wien"
(VEEN) in the languages around there. A person who was born or raised there
is called a <u>Wiener</u> (VEEN-air). Also, a small sausage that became popular there
was also called a Wiener. That's where we got the slang term 'weener' for a hot
dog or anything that resembles one.
-- A little kid who whimpers and whines all the time is called a <u>whiner.</u>
So the spelling really often depends on what your word means. That's one
reason why, in a spelling bee, they always give you a sentence along with
the word.

Answer:
The error with subject-verb agreement is highlighted below:
On the basketball court, nothing fazes Martina. She has a singular focus: driving up the score for her team.
Explanation:
<u>Subject-verb agreement refers to the verb adjusting itself to the subject. If the subject is plural, the verb is also plural. If the subject is singular, the verb must also be singular. </u>Take a look at the examples below:
- Leslie goes jogging every morning. → Leslie - singular subject; goes - singular verb.
- They go swimming every Saturday. → They - plural subject; go - plural verb.
In the sentence we are analyzing here, there is an error with the subject-verb agreement. The subject is "nothing", which is singular, but the verb is "faze", which is plural. To correct this error, we must add -s to "faze", since verbs referring to the third person singular in the present tense need -s, -es, or -ies.
<u>The corrected sentence is:</u>
<u>On the basketball court, nothing </u><u>fazes</u><u> Martina.</u>
