Answer:

C. One of the cars has lost its bumper.

Explanation:

The subject-verb agreement is a rule according to which the subject and predicate must agree in number. This means that a singular subject takes a singular verb, and the opposite - a plural subject takes a plural verb.

The complete subject in the given sentence is<em> </em><em>one of the cars. </em><em>Cars</em> is a plural noun, but it's preceded by the phrase <em>one of the</em>, which makes the subject singular. That's why the predicate must contain a singular verb, as well. The form <em>have lost</em> is incorrect, because that's a plural form. The correct option is<em> has lost</em>.

There is another mistake. The phrase <em>it's bumper</em> is incorrect because <em>it's</em> is a contraction of the phrase <em>it is</em>, and we need the possessive pronoun <em>its</em> (<em>the car has lost </em><u><em>its bumper = the car's bumper</em></u>).

That's why the correct option is C.

Why are poetry, puns, and wordplay difficult to translate into another language?
baherus [9]
The correct answer is B, poetry, puns, and wordplay often rely on the way words sound or look and not just on the meaning of the words. That is why it is difficult to retain the same amount of wit and humor while translating.
