Find and correct the subject-verb agreement errors in this paragraph. There are ~10.

JulijaS [17]

Answer:Explanation:

The subject-verb agreement errors in the paragraph above are underlined and bolded below:

Since a desktop computer, complete with headphones for sound-based functions, exist in every office, work should be simpler.

The main subject here referred to in the sentence is “a desktop computer”, which is singular. A singular verb should follow. EXISTS is the right singular verb to use.

However, neither increased efficiency nor improved employee morale have resulted from our switch from paper to computers.

According to the rule of subject-verb agreement, when “neither…nor” is used, a singular verb is used. The correct verb to be used here would be HAS.

Indeed, each worker’s tasks has become more complex.

The subject “tasks” is in the plural form, and should attract a plural verb HAVE.

In the past, for example, one invoice or two purchase orders was needed to complete a request for supplies.

The last listed noun that serves as the subject in the sentence here, “two purchase orders”, determines the verb form that should follow. So, the plural verb “WERE” should follow.

The process, including online confirmation, now require five separate documents.

“The process” is a singular, which should attract a singular verb, “REQUIRES”.

The result of this unnecessary complication, not surprisingly, are frustration and curses.

The main subject here is “the result”, which is singular should attract a singular verb “IS”.

Everyone, including the supervisors, are fed up with the extra work.

“Everyone” is the main subject here, and attracts a singular verb “IS”.

When our division implement a new computer system next month, I expect at least two of my co-workers to quit.

“Our division” is taken as a single unit in this sentence, and should attract a singular verb, “IMPLEMENTS”.

Fifteen hours of training are needed to learn the new system, and that is more time than any of us have to waste.

“fifteen hours of training” is used here as a single unit specifying time, and should attract the singular verb, “IS”.

Also, in the later part of the sentence, “any of us” should attract a singular verb “HAS”.

Below is the paragraph after correction of the several errors:

Most jobs now require computer skills, but the digital revolution has not improved our quality of life. Since a desktop computer, complete with headphones for sound-based functions, exists in every office, work should be simpler. However, neither increased efficiency nor improved employee morale has resulted from our switch from paper to computers. Indeed, each worker’s tasks have become more complex.

Write a story that clearly illustrates the saying do not count your chicken before they are hatched

fgiga [73]

Answer:I probably know that chickens come from eggs. A female chicken or hen lays eggs and then they hatch into chicks. Well, not all of them. Some eggs do not have a baby bird.

So, at our farm, a hen produces 15 eggs. If the farmer counts the eggs, she might expect to have 15 chicks once the eggs are hatched. But then five of those eggs do not hatch. Her expectations were not met, so she feels disappointed. She tells her friend how sad she feels. The friend may say to her, “Well, don’t count your chicken before they hatch.

Another way of saying this proverb is: “Don’t count your chickens until they are hatched.”

So, this proverb means you should not depend on something that has yet to happen. It is unwise to make plans based on something that hasn’t happened. Another meaning of this proverb is this: Do not assume to have everything you want until you actually have it in your hands.

Now, let’s talk about the folklore part of our explanation.

“Don’t count your chickens until they are hatched” is a very old saying. Language experts say it appears in different forms and in many different cultures. It is also used in Aesop's Fables, a collection of stories from between 1,300 and 1,400 years ago.

The fable we are talking about is known as “The Milkmaid and Her Pail.” A long time ago, a young woman carried a bucket of milk on her head. As she walked, the milkmaid dreamed of a better life. She wanted to be rich. So, she thought she could sell her milk and then use the money to buy chickens. With chickens she could sell eggs and earn more money!

With lots of money, the milkmaid could shake her head “no” to all the men in her village who wanted her hand in marriage. The young woman was so caught up in her thoughts that she actually shook her head “no.” This caused the pail of milk to fall from her head and crash to the ground. Along with it -- her dreams of becoming rich and independent.
