<span>1) theme is the main idea or the message conveyed through a work. So a synonym for theme is plot message.
 2) Each refers to a singular noun. So the following verb and pronoun must also be singular. The correct pronoun to be used in the blank space is his. 3)Possessive case indicates possession whereas nominative case just refers to the name. In the above sentence, the umbrella belongs to someone or someone possesses the umbrella. So both yours and mine are in the possessive case.</span>

PlZ Help me now !!!!!!!!
laiz [17]

The sentence that has an error in subject-verb agreement is D. The man, in the next apartment, as well as the people across the hall, have lived in the building since 1960.

Subject-verb agreement means that the subject of a sentence and the verb must agree in number. That is to say, both of them need to be singular or plural. In sentence D, the subject of the sentence is "the man" and the verb is "have lived". As the sentence refers to one man, the verb should be "has lived" in order to agree in number with the subject.
