Which sentence below contains an incorrect verb form?

English

Lostsunrise [7]4 years ago

Answer:

D. Barry's band perform for a group of paying customers every time they play at Filits.

Explanation:

The tricky thing with words such as "band", "team", "jury" etc. is determining whether they are singular or plural.

Basically, the rule is that when we talk about the group of people, as a whole, we use singular form, but when we talk about the members of the group we use plural form.

Sentences A. and B. are correct; "Barry plays/feels...", "The name comes..." all use correct verb forms regarding the subject.

Sentence C. in the first part uses "The band is called..." and then "They have been...". This might seem wrong, but it actually isn't. In the first part, the band refers to the group, meaning it's singular. In the second part "they" refers to the band members, which should be plural.

Ssntence D. uses the band as the group, but uses the inadequate verb form - perform instead of performs.

nata0808 [166]

ANSWER 1

Between the early 2000s and 2011, the percentages of adolescents reporting exposure to drug or alcohol use prevention messages in the past year through media and school sources generally declined

In 2011, 40 percent of adolescents did not talk with their parents about the dangers of substance use, and one quarter did not receive prevention messages through media or school sources

Adolescents aged 12 to 14 were less likely than those aged 15 to 17 to have received prevention messages through media sources and to have talked with a parent about the dangers of substance use but were more likely to have received messages through school sources and to have participated in a substance use prevention program outside of school

ANSWER 2

The percentage of adolescents aged 12 to 17 who perceived great risk from having five or more alcoholic drinks once or twice a week increased from 38.2 percent in 2002 to 40.7 percent in 2011; during the same period, the rate of binge alcohol use among adolescents decreased from 10.7 to 7.4 percent

Between 2007 and 2011, the percentage of adolescents who perceived great risk from smoking marijuana once or twice a week decreased from 54.6 to 44.8 percent, and the rate of past month marijuana use among adolescents increased from 6.7 to 7.9 percent

In 2011, the percentages of adolescents reporting substance use in the past month were generally lower among those who perceived great risk from using substances than among those who did not perceive great risk

Which two sentences could be added to the second paragraph to describe how Silver Lining learned how to better themselves?Tourna
sineoko [7]

The excerpt that can be added to describe Silver Lining improvement is Tournaments became the place where Silver Lining tested their teamwork, tirelessly entering and winning until other teams took notice.

In stories, it is common for main characters to evolve or change. This is known as character development and it is usually explained by the author through details that show a change in:

  • Attitude
  • Physical appearance.
  • Level of Maturity.
  • Among others.

Based on this, the best sentences to add if you want to explain how Silver Lining learned how to better themselves are Tournaments became the place where Silver Lining tested their teamwork...

This is because, from the options, these sentences are the only ones that explain how the team became better, and therefore, they directly show the way they evolved.

Note: This question is incomplete because the text it refers to is not given; due to this, I answered it based on general knowledge.
