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:

"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>

C. the justice system skewed against African Americans.
Explanation:
Here's the poem:
That Justice is a blind goddess
Is a thing to which <u>we black are wise</u>:
Her bandage hides two festering sores
That once perhaps were eyes.
Notice how Hughes writes that "we black are wise." This implies that the justice he speaks of (which is referred to as a "her" throuhgout the poem) is "blind" when it comes to the struggles of African Americans.
Choice A is incorrect because the poem clearly implies that the justice system is biased against blacks.
Choice B is incorrect because the poem calls justice "blind," which implies that she is flawed.
Choice D is incorrect because there is no mention of "human rights" or not caring." Justice is described as being "blind" which does not imply either.

<span>We presume this because of appearance. This was probably a dream or fantasy. She appeared that way but it doesn't mean she was really wealthy. She could have been wealthy of heart and soul. Just cannot say or presume by appearance alone. We sometimes can judge or presume that something is not really what it appears to be. But regardless, it is a compliment to her in every way.</span>
