Read this excerpt from chapter 2 of The Scarlet Letter. Lastly, in lieu of these shifting scenes, came back the rude market-plac

e of the Puritan settlement, with all the townspeople assembled and levelling their stern regards at Hester Prynne,—yes, at herself,—who stood on the scaffold of the pillory, an infant on her arm, and the letter A, in scarlet, fantastically embroidered with gold thread, upon her bosom! What is the effect of the underlined words in this excerpt? They impart a mood of distress and shame. They impart a mood of nostalgia and self-reflection. They provide a visual image of the violent setting. They provide historical insight into the Puritan setting.

Answer: They impart a mood of distress and shame.

Explanation: The underlined words ("yes, at herself") in this excerpt, give the idea of all the shame the people of the market-place of the Puritan settlement demonstrate towards her, while they despised her and gossiped about her and her baby. It also expresses the distress and anguish she felt for the situation she was living.

kap26 [50]
In 1977, in the Midwest, there was millions of dollars of destruction from a tornado that lasted <span> seven hours.

Since the subject here is the Midwest which is singular the linking verb should agree with the subject as singular thus, was.

Further example,
</span><span>The sentence that includes an error in the subject-verb agreement is:

A. Either June or her children are going to the movie tonight. 

This sentence should read:
Neither June nor her children are going to the movie tonight. 
"Nor" and "neither" go together and they are the negative form of "or" and "either". "Or and "either" are the positive form of "nor" and "neither". 
<span>A good example of using "or" and "either" is the following sentence:You can either run or cycle to the shops. </span>
</span>
