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.

write a paragraph that explains your understanding of what a strong idea is and how strong ideas improve the process and product
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

You can use the following three ideas:

Concept:

1) Strong ideas are disruptive in unique ways/unexpected ways.

Writing process:

2) Successful strong ideas attract the attention of the reader without confusing them, and leads them to re-evaluate a certain aspect of the reality evoked by it.

3) Strong ideas have to be handled carefully to prevent confusion or lack of specificity.

Explanation:

1) Strong ideas are meant to shake the reader. They ought to either challenge previous ideas about a certain topic or propose a whole new different way to assess said topic or phenomenon. The quality of strenght is attributed to an idea when it has the potential to renovate a traditional concept or assessment criterion.

2) If the idea is truly strong, then the reader is probably going to be bewildered at first. It has to be clear enough to prevent undesired effects such as distraction and confusion, and achieve engagement. If the reader is "hooked up" satisfacotorily, then a reflective process is going to begin so that they can connect the new, strong idea to the reality they know.

3) A strong idea needs to be explained, either by implicatures or expressively, through sufficient means to be clear to the reader. If the idea is meant to provoke an ambiguous effect, then the attention to detail in this aspect needs to be stronger.

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Adjective clause; sport.

Explanation:

An adjective clause is a type of clause that modifies or describes a noun in a sentence. It is also known as a relative clause and is a dependent clause, meaning, it cannot stand on its own as a full sentence.

In the given sentence, the subordinate clause used is an adjective clause that modifies the word "sport". The subordinate clause is "that is played in the countries around the world", containing a verb and a subject, thus making it an adjective clause and also modifying the noun "sport".

Thus, the correct answer is the last option.
