Read the paragraph. [1] Alejandro’s guidance counselor is helping him plan his schedule for next year. [2] She suggests that he
take AP Chemistry and AP French to improve his chances of getting into college. [3] Neither he nor his parents think he’ll have time to do the work for both courses. [4] Each of the teachers teach in a different way. Which sentence has an indefinite-pronoun verb agreement error?
The correct answer is [4] Each of the teachers teach in a different way.
Explanation:
In grammar, indefinite-pronouns are words such as all, every, many, each, someone, etc. that refer to a subject indefinitely. Additionally, depending on the indefinite pronoun this is considered as singular or plural and therefore should be followed by a singular or plural form to show pronoun verb agreement. For example the pronouns each, every, somebody are singular while the pronouns many, all or both are plural. According to this, the sentence with an indefinite-pronoun verb agreement is "Each of the teachers teach in a different way" because the indefinite pronoun should be followed by the singular form "teaches" rather than the plural form "teach".
It means that he has abided by certain mores for his whole life and by using the literal example of “pulling a thorn”, he’s saying, “there’s not one person who i haven’t helped, that’s what makes us brothers. When they need me i help them, and when i need them they help me.” It is interesting because he’s explaining that just because it’s not normal for you doesn’t mean it’s not my version of normal.
