Question

Proofread the following text and correct the three subject-verb disagreements. If online dating has become too tedious for you, why not rank a rabbit instead? Sherwood University scientists have created an “adorability” app that ask people to rate rabbits’ appearances and identify which aspects they find the most appealing, from expressive eyes to fluffy fur. Professor John Harvey said: “There’s a possibility that people are selecting rabbits based on celebrities’ pets or they’re emphasising particular features such as large eyes and cute ears. Neither of these has any impact on how well such animals perform as pets, though.” “It would be interesting if we discovered that people don’t actually like the most distorted features, as that could imply there are a difference between what the public actually desire and the sorts of rabbits that are being reared.”

Answer 2

A subject-verb disagreement is when we use the plural-form verb for a single-form noun or a single-form verb is used for a plural noun, for example "she read" or "they reads". In the text the three subject-verb disagreements are: 1. "app that ask people" it should be: "app that asks people" because app is a singular noun. 2. "There are a difference", the correct form would be: "There is a difference" because difference is a singular noun. 3. "What the public actually desire" it should be: What the public actually desires" because public is a singular noun.
