Answer:
The rule which states that if a verb is in past tense, then its subject should be in past tense too and if it's in present tense, the subject should also be in present tense.
“I was amazed at his equanimity in the face of danger.”
The verb "was" is in past tense so is the subject "amazed".
Explanation:
A simple subject-verb agreement definition says that the subject of the sentence and the verb of the sentence must be in agreement in number/tense.
If the sentence is written like this
“I am amaze at his equanimity in the face of danger.”
If the verb "was" is replaced by "am" and the subject "amazed" is replaced by "amaze", the sentence would become incorrect as it disregards the subject verb agreement.
Answer and Explanation:
I always associate the value of things according to the stories and the memory they carry. For that reason, my most valuable asset is a teddy bear that my father gave to my mother when they were dating, many years before I was born.
although my parents' marriage did not work out and they are no longer together, I like to think that this teddy bear is part of my story, as an omen about my coming to this world.
The bear is valuable to me, whenever I feel sad and desperate about my life. Because I look at him and believe that my life has a purpose that will be achieved, otherwise, my parents would not have been together, my mother would never win this bear and I would never exist.
The correct answer is C. Respect must be earned. "Respect" is the abstract noun that is in question here. This is because you couldn't explain what respect is using an object form nature, as it is similar to other abstract nouns such as love or hate.
