The cost of

have risen

this month.

Correct option is 3: 'have risen'.

- The cost of: This segment is grammatically correct. "The cost of" is a noun phrase that indicates what is rising.

- abnormally: This is an adverb correctly modifying the verb phrase "have risen," indicating the manner of rising.

- have risen: This is where the error lies. The subject "The cost" is singular, so it should use "has risen" instead of "have risen."

- this month: This phrase is correct. It specifies the time period for the price increase.
