Answer:

I believe the best option to be the third one: use a plural verb with a collective subject functioning as individual parts.

Explanation:

The subject of the sentence we are studying here is "the dance crew". The word "crew" is singular and, because of that, we would expect the verb to conjugated in the singular form as well - "washes". However, since "crew" is a collective noun - it indicates a collection or a number of things or people -, there are two possible ways to conjugate verbs with it. If we think of crew as a unit, the verb shall be singular. But, if we think of it as the individuals who are part of, each one of them performing an action, then the verb shall be in the plural form.

In conclusion, if the verb is in its plural form - "wash" -, the best explanation for its subject-verb agreement is the third option:

use a plural verb with a collective subject functioning as individual parts

Narrative Essay on Hurricane Sandy
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

Hurricane Sandy was definitely a very difficult time for everyone in the northeast region. Initially I did not realize how hard it was going to hit us, because the previous year Hurricane Irene did not have such a strong effect on my town. Of course we did not leave the house, and there were a few fallen trees, however it did not affect us like Hurricane Sandy did.

Even though I wasn’t expecting a very severe hurricane, my parents still prepared for the worst. They requested me to come home and stay even though many of my friends were still on campus. I figured being with my family during this difficult time would make the most sense. When the hurricane hit initially we did not lose any electricity even though many families around us did. My sister and I decided to end our boredom by watching random television shows, and just as we found something that interested us, the power went out. We were hoping it was just a quick power shortage, and that the power would be back within the hour. We were in for a big surprise. We did not have warm water or power for five days.

For those five days we charged our laptops and phones inside of my mom’s car, and used them until they had to be charged again and again. During that time, we went on a hunt for all of our old DVDs in our basement, and brought them all up one by one to watch on the laptop. We would listen to the radio from time to time to find out if there were any updates regarding the power outage. The entire time I couldn’t wait for everything to get back to normal so I could return to school and start enjoying my life again.

It was one afternoon when my mom and I were in the car listening to the radio, when I realized that we didn’t have it nearly as bad as people in other ...
