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. In the past, for example, one invoice or two purchase orders were needed to complete a request for supplies. The process, including online confirmation, now requires five separate documents. The result of this unnecessary complication, not surprisingly, is frustration and curses. Everyone, including the supervisors, is fed up with the extra work.

What are three main differences between “Arachne” and “Anansi” and what are three main similarities between "Arachne" and "Anasi

rjkz [21]

Similarities:

-Arachne and Anansi are both characters that represent spider-like abilities or appearance. They have been shown in various ways but are always identified with the eight-legged animal.

-They are part of the traditional folklore of a culture, and therefore have inspired and influenced many other stories or tales throughout history.

-There is more than one version of their origins and stories, but they are always depicted as skillful, clever and defiant. Arachne defied the goddess Atena and Anansi was a prominent figure for slaves in Africa and the Caribbean.

Differences:

-Their origin is quite different: Arachne appears in the Greek mythology, while Anansi belongs to African and Caribbean folklore.

- Arachne was forced to be a spider. She was a Greek mortal who challenged the goddess Athena to a weaving contest. In the end, she was turned into a spider as a punishment. Anansi, on the other hand is a god-like creature with the ability to transform himself into a human or a spider whenever he wants to.

-Anansi is often seen as a hero who brings rain when there is fire, has unlimited stories and wisdom, and also inspires slaves. Arachne is seen as an example of what happens when mortals dare or disrespect gods.
