Answer: "Two friends of mine are Kenji and Jose" is the grammatically correct sentence.

Explanation: In this sentence, "are" acts as the linking verb. It is a form of the linking verb "to be". However, "to be" has another form, "is". The type of verb to be used can usually be determined by how the sentence sounds.

The main way of deciding the verb to use is to relate it to the noun which is performing the action. If the noun itself is singular, "is" must be used whereas for plural nouns "are" is to be used.

When the form of verb is in accordance to the subject, it is called subject-verb agreement.

In the given sentence, the subjects are the two friends Kenji and Jose. Thus, the subject is plural. As a result, "are" is used and the correct sentence is "Two friends of mine are Kenji and Jose".

Why do you think pastoralism arose in the same time period as naturalism despite their different themes or approaches to literat
Amanda [17]
<span>Romantic ideals in the early to mid-nineteenth century were shattered by the Civil War. Americans grew disillusioned by the war. They didn't agree with the glorious depiction of war that romantic literature tried to capture, both during and after the war. This disillusionment led writers to take a different perspective in their literature. Literary movements such as realism, naturalism, and pastoralism were the result. While realism and naturalism embraced scientific principles, pastoralism attempted to recapture romanticism by portraying the simple life. During the post-Civil War period, some writers felt that there was a need to show that romantic literature, as a whole, was not forgotten. Pastoralism depicted the beauty of a simple life, in particular, that of a shepherd’s, in order to recapture romanticism. Plato</span>
