Direction: In the following questions, some of the sentences have errors and some have none. Find out which part of a sentence has an error; mark (4) as your answer.

  1. Solve the question according to given instruction
    1. It is I
    2. who is to blame.
    3. for this bad situation
    4. No error.
Correct Option: B

am will replace is because –
when the Subject of the Verb is a Relative Pronoun (who), the Verb (is) agrees in Number and Person with the Antecedent of the Rel. Pro.
A Noun/Pronoun which comes before a Rel. Pro. is called Antecedent.
Here, I is the Antecedent of who (Rel. Pro.) with I so, am is used.
Hence, who am to blame is the right usage.
