Which sentence contains an error in subject-verb agreement?

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.

"D. My mother or my father is going to pick me up from swim practice" is the only sentence that contains an error in subject-verb agreement, but this is common.

Answer and Explanation:

Dear...,

I'm sorry to hear you were not able to perform well for the examination. I can only imagine the way you feel at this moment. I hope you'll soon regain your confidence and excitement. We know you are smart and capable, so there is no reason to let this hurdle bring you down.

You know I have also struggled all my life with anxiety and lack of focus. You were there when I failed exams or missed important appointments due to those issues. I would be worried about the future, or thinking about anything else, instead of truly being present, of simply paying attention. That cost me a lot, as you know.

That is why I feel I must recommend something to you - something that has been helping me a lot. I've told about some of the philosophies I've studying lately. One thing they all seem to have in common is the insistence on living in the present. When we lack focus, when we do not listen properly, when we do things on autopilot, we are missing the present moment. We are either reliving the past or anticipating the future, both of which are not a reality right now.

I believe you would benefit greatly from a few practices. Mindfulness meditation, for instance, can teach you how to focus. It can help you tune out that noise in your head that takes your attention away from what is truly happening at the moment. If you'd like, I can help you get started.

(Friend's name), we only live in the moment. Whatever it is that we are doing deserves our full, undivided attention. If you choose to focus, there is nothing you can't achieve. And I can guarantee life will seem to flow more easily.

Sincerely,

...

To kill a mocking bird- Why does jem want to go back for his pants so badly ?
Airida [17]

Answer:

Jem had to go back for his pants because the lie Dill told to Atticus didn't involve his pants being destroyed, only lost. He said he had lost them in "strip poker." Jem couldn't argue with that lie and come up with a better one where the pants were actually destroyed or else he would risk exposing the lie, so he had to go along with it.

If he hadn't come up with the pants relatively soon, Atticus would have punished him for losing them permanently, a punishment Jem seemed eager to avoid when he said he had not been "whipped" for a long time and he didn't want it to happen again. He clearly has a healthy respect for Atticus and is also afraid of the whip, as he should be. Atticus would have either punished him for losing the pants (something it would cost money to replace) or have punished him for lying, had he found out how the pants were really lost.

So, Jem really had no choice but to go back for his pants, as scary as that prospect was.
