English

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.

MatroZZZ [7]

Imagine you work in a clothing store. your manager asks you to set up a certain display in a particular aisle at the other end of the store. as you come to the area, you see that many customers are shopping in the area you need to set up the display, blocking your access to the display area. using good time management skills, you should <u>clean the aisles near the display area until it is clear of customers.</u>

Since customers' shopping are what keep any business moving and prospering, including clothing stores, and I need to keep doing my job regardless of what's happening around, a good time management skills would be to clean the aisles near the display area until it is clear of customers. This way, I won't interrupt the customer's chance of seeing something they might buy, which benefits the store, and meanwhile, I will be preparing the area where I'll work later once it is clear of people.

Which sentences demonstrate correct use of commas with quotation marks?
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

"Don't make me angry," Harry shouted, "or I'll really lose it!"

"You go look for Hagrid," said Hermoine.

Explanation:

In American English, these are the rules when it comes to the ways quotation marks and other punctuation marks are written:

  • Commas and periods always go inside the quotation marks <em>("You go look for Hagrid</em><em>,</em><em>" said Hermoine.)</em>
  • Dashes, colons, and semicolons almost always go outside the quotation marks.
  • Question marks and exclamation marks sometimes go inside and sometimes stay outside.

When you're splitting a quotation in half, you should add a comma after the speaker to separate the speaker from the second part of the quote <em>("Don't make me angry</em><em>,</em><em>" Harry shouted</em><em>,</em><em> "or I'll really lose it!").</em>
