Darwin was twenty-two years old when he was hired to be the ship's naturalist. Most of the trip was spent sailing around South America. There Darwin spent considerable time ashore collecting plants and animals. Darwin filled notebooks with his observations of plants, animals, and geology. The trip was an almost five-year adventure and the ship returned to Falmouth, England on October 2,1836. Throughout South America, Darwin collected a variety of bird specimens. One key observation Darwin made occurred while he was studying the specimens from the Galapagos Islands. He noticed the finches on the island were similar to the finches from the mainland, but each showed certain characteristics that helped them to gather food more easily in their specific habitat. He collected many specimens of the finches on the Galapagos Islands. These specimens and his notebooks provided Darwin with a record of his observations as he developed the theory of evolution through natural selection.])
"During the meeting last night, a number of questions were raised" would be the correct choice, since this is something that happened in the recent past and implies that several different people raised them.

Answer:
The error in subject-verb agreement is underlined below:
<u>Jenny's favorite hiking trail </u><u>wind</u> from the base of Mt. Diablo up to the summit which offers breathtaking views of the surrounding area.
Explanation:
Although the sentence above has quite a long subject - "Jenny's favorite hiking trail" - we can easily pinpoint which word is the most important in it: "trail". All the while, the sentence is talking about a trail. Therefore, the verb that follows the subject needs to agree with "trail", which is a third-person singular word.
That is precisely where we have an error. The verb "wind" is not in its singular form. In the present tense, the singular form of verbs ends in -s, -es, or -ies for the third person. In the case of "wind", it should be "winds". Therefore, the correct agreement would be:
- Jenny's favorite hiking trail winds from the base . . .
The rest of the sentence is alright.
