What's wrong:
> There are a large number of options. By default, the value
What should have happened:
> There is a large number of options. By default, the value
Not convinced.
First of all, explain says that "a number of" can be replaced by
"many", and "There is many options" doesn't make sense.
Second, your corrected version sounds stupid. :-)
Show me an English textbook that says you're right, and I'll change
it....
