[Grammar] Uncountable noun

[bldlbldla]

I have just read a text from my english book, which is written like this - We can suppose that all information on the external influences are contained in the past ecord of prices........

I have learned 'information' is uncountable noun, but that sentence makes me confused.
Why is 'are' written as a verb? Plz explain me...

Welcome to the forum. :hi:

Please tell us the title of the book and the name of the author. You must do this every time you quote someone else's words. Also, when you say "English book", do you simply mean a book written in English or a book designed to help you learn/study English?

It's a terrible sentence all round, to be honest, but you're right that "are" is incorrect when referring to "information". The writer might have got confused and attached the verb to "external influences" but that's not correct.

It's wrong, but the writer is probably thinking about influences as the subject- this is called proximity,
