Proofread the following text and correct the three subject-verb disagreements.

English
1 answer:
Softa [21]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Answer is in the explanation.

Explanation:

In grammatically correct sentences, subject and verb must agree in person (first, second, third) and in number (singular, plural). The given passage has three disagreements:  

1) ...<em>the fate of the diamond were unknown</em>...

Since <em>the fate</em> is third-person singular it needs to be followed by a verb <em>was </em>

2) <em>neither men or conflict have dimmed... </em>

It is a general rule that when we have a neither/nor (either/or) construction, the verb agrees with the closest subject ( in this case<em> the conflict</em>) which is in the third person singular, so it needs to be followed by the verb<em> has</em>

3) ... <em>the twin eighty-year-old brothers suggests.</em>..

The subject here is<em> the twin brothers</em> (they) which is third person plural, so the following verb must be <em>suggest</em>

They're biggest mistake was going through ice but they ended up having another problem which was how cold it was but they over came the cold by wearing alot of layers of clothes they also took all the wet clothes off very fast and had hot drinks often the last problem they had was drifting ice pans which could collide causing walls of ice to ride out of nowhere or to break apart throwing them into the freezing Waters far away.
