In the context of this essay, it would be "<span>4. Tan's mother does not speak standard English, but she is able to convey the ideas behind her words" that</span> best describes the meaning of this statement.
Answer: The answer would be B.
Explanation: Because nowadays kids at the age of 13 are too young to work. But back then it was legal for 13 years old to have a job.
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>
B.)
The 2 sentences should be turned into one because if the last sentence is left like that, it would be called a fragment/incomplete sent.
