The answer to your question would be that the sentence that contains an error in subject-verb agreement is the following one: My mother or my father is going to pick me up from swim practice. That is, the correct option would be D.

Subject-verb agreement refers to the fact that the subject and the verb must agree with one another in number (singular or plural). Consequently, if the subject is singular, its verb must also be singular; if a subject is plural, its verb must also be plural. In this case, the subject is plural since it refers to two people (mother and father), so the verb must also be plural.

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

B. 14

Explanation:

The agriculture club is planting vegetable gardens on a piece of land that measures 1 3/4 of an acre. Each garden will measure 1/8 of an acre. What is the greatest number of gardens that can be planted?

Solution:

The area of land available for planting = 1 3/4 of an acre = 7/4 acre

The area of the garden = 1/8 acre

The greatest number of gardens that can be planted on the land is the ratio of area of land available for planting to the area of the garden. It is given by:

Greatest number of gardens that can be planted = area of land available for planting / area of the garden

Greatest number of gardens that can be planted = 7/4 acre ÷ 1/8 acre

Greatest number of gardens that can be planted = 14
