Question

Choose the sentence in which the underlined verb agrees with the subject.

Answer 1

Answer:

C) Each of the job applicants meets with each of the partners in the firm.

Explanation:

The simple subject "each" is singular, so the correct verb is "meets."

Answer 2

Subject-verb agreement happens in the simple present tense when the subject is a third person (a He, a She, or an It) and the verb is added an S, an ES, or IES to the ending of such verb, for example:

My Father works in a Bank. Subject + VerbS

In this case the verb is added an S because the subject “my father” is a “HE” and by having that done, there is a subject-verb agreement.

Joy study really hard every time she has exams. Subject + Verb

In this case the verb has no change even though the subject is a SHE, in this case there IS NOT subject-verb agreement for the verb stays with no change when there must be one.

The only sentence that has a correct subject-verb agreement is:

A) Every one of the applicants appear prepared.

The other sentences have no subject-verb agreement.

B) All of the team members is highly qualified. the subject is plural and the is for the third person.

C) Each of the job applicants meets with each of the partners in the firm. The subject is plural and the verb is for the third person.

D) While most employers appreciate good manners, many of them hates a suck-up.

the verb is plural and the verb is for the thir person.
