Question

Select the sentence that does not contain an error: (3 points) The pool full of people were cool and blue. The pool full of people are cool and blue. The pool full of people was cool and blue. The pools full of people was cool and blue.

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. The pool full of people was cool and blue.

Explanation:

One of the elements that makes a sentence correct is that the subject (agent of the action) and the verb (action) agree in number (both are singular or plural). This factor makes sentences such as "The pool full of people were cool and blue" incorrect because the singular subject "the pool" is followed by a plural verb "were". In this context, the only correct sentence is "The pool full of people was cool and blue" because the subject and verb are both singular.
