Select the word or phrase in the sentence that is not used correctly: The data indicates that the patient is suffering from extreme anxiety, and tranquilizing medication is immediately required.
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is 'B: Indicates.' In the sentence, 'indicate' should be used instead of 'indicates' to match the plural subject 'data.' 'Indicate' is the correct plural form of the verb for the plural subject 'data.' The other choices ('extreme anxiety,' 'is,' 'immediately') are used correctly in the sentence. Remember that when the subject is plural, the verb should also be in its plural form, which is 'indicate' in this case.
