Which sentence has the correct subject-verb agreement?

English
2 answers:
Gnesinka [82]3 years ago
7 0

The correct answer is the first option.

The sentence that presents the correct subject-verb agreement is the first one since in it we are talking about "heavy rains" OR "fast-melting snow". In other words, the subject is coordinated by the conjunction "OR" which makes the subject singular. The verb "causes" is conjugated in the third person singular.

Answer:

A). Heavy rains or fast-melting snow causes floods in many parts of the world.

Explanation:

Subject-verb agreement is demonstrated as the grammatical rule which implies the agreement of subject and verb in terms of number. It implies that a singular noun must correspond to a singular verb while a plural must correspond to a plural verb.

As per the question, option A implies a correct subject-verb agreement as it includes the subjects 'Heavy rains' and 'fast-melting snow' are linked by coordinating conjunction 'or' that turns it singular and therefore, the verb must also be 'singular'(causes). Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer as in option B the subject and verb do not agree in number.

Whitman's "Song of the Open Road" is written in _____.
kirill [66]
The best answer for this question is "free verse." This poem does not follow any particular rhyme scheme or stanza patterns. This rules out the second option and part of the last option. It also does not contain any internal rhythms, including iambic pentameter. This rules out the first and last options, leaving you with only one. Whitman was notorious for writing in a very free flowing way that defied norms and traditions of poetry. Hope this helps.

Why did Nick's father tell him he should refrain from judging or criticizing other people? -From the Great Gatsby
KIM [24]

Answer:he said just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.

Explanation: ‘Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone,’ he told me, ‘just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.’”

—Nick Carraway, The Great Gatsby

F is for F. Scott Fitzgerald, author of Gatsby and master of human insight wrapped in poetry. His novel begins here, his narrator Nick Carraway, grappling with his father’s caution of criticism—

“All the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.”

In short, people judge, and Nick tries to refrain because his father said so. I think about Nick’s words and my life. I remember how often my mother would stop herself mid-criticism and say, “I’m not going to say that. It wasn’t very nice.” Then Philippians 4:8 comes to mind about thinking on excellent, praiseworthy things.

Speaking of excellence and praise, what about this one for its sheer lyricism? “It was dawn now on Long Island and we went about opening the rest of the windows downstairs, filling the house with grey turning, gold turning light. The shadow of a tree fell abruptly across the dew and ghostly birds began to sing among the blue leaves. There was a slow pleasant movement in the air, scarcely a wind, promising a cool lovely day.”
