There seems to be or There seem to be?
This is a part of a quiz that I took.
Which word in parentheses is grammatically wrong?
"There(seems)to be (the) employees who are dissatisfied (with) their transfers this time at the automobile (manufacturing) company."
The answer is "the" but I think "seems" is wrong, and it should be "seem" because it is followed by "employees."
What do you think?
