Answer:

There's something you must know.

Explanation:

All of the incorrect sentences contain a subject-verb agreement mistake. The subject-verb agreement refers to that the subject and verb must agree in number (singular or plural).

<em>There's pencils in the box</em> should be<em> </em><em>There are pencils</em><em> in the box. </em>As the subject is plural, the verb must be in the plural form as well (are + pencils).

<em>There's five marbles on the floor</em> should be <em>There are five marbles</em><em> on the floor</em>. Once again, there is more than one marble, so the verb has to be in the plural form (are + five marbles).

<em>There's several ways to post something online </em>should be corrected to <em>There are several ways</em><em> to post something online</em>. Just like <em>all, both, few, many, </em>and <em>some</em>,<em> several</em> goes together with the plural form of a verb, although in colloquial language you can often hear it used with the singular. <em>Are + several </em>is the grammatically correct option.

<em>There's something you must know</em> is an example of correct subject-verb agreement, as the singular form of the verb (is) is used with the singular pronoun <em>something</em>.

Explanation:

According to subject verb agreement rule of English grammar subject and the verb associated with it should agree in number i.e singular subject should take singular verb and plural verb will be used when subject is plural.

Here subject is Goffin's cockatoo which is a singular noun hence "is" is the correct verb to be used with this subject while "are" is used and should be replaced with "is".
