The correct answer is A.
A subject-verb agreement implies that the subject of the sentence and the verb of the sentence must be in agreement in number.
A pick and shovel ( two things, therefore plural ) <em>are used</em> to remove sand;
When two subjects are joined by <em>and</em>, the verb is plural.
then workers or a crane <em>lifts</em> the artifacts.
When two or more singular nouns or pronouns are connected by <em>or </em>or <em>nor</em>, a singular verb is used. The verb agrees in person and number with the noun nearest to it.
<span>“We
Wear the Mask” would have been interpreted as subjective and emotional
if Dunbar had used more informal language and fewer structural elements.
Simpler words would have been more accessible to his audience. However,
the formal structure allows all Americans to relate to the poem, no
matter their race. The formal structure is evident in the following
lines:
Why should the world be over-wise,
In counting all our tears and sighs?
Nay, let them only see us, while
In this case, Dunbar uses an old English word, nay—not
likely a word that every African American at the time knew. Dunbar uses

In “Whistling my troubles away”, Benito has no previous experience with children. After his first day acting as counselor in a camp for kids, he realizes his attempt to make the kids focus is a disaster. Benito is afraid he might not be able to come up with a play that the kids will actually want to perform.
By the end of his first day, Camila, the camp director, thanks Benito for his help and lets him know a representative from a foundation is coming to watch the kids’ play in order to decide if the camp’s drama program deserves funding. Camila does tell Benito that the representative will not be expecting a big production, but he still gets nervous about it. Because of his nervousness, Benito starts whistling.
This part of the narrative acts as foreshadowing because whistling is precisely what is going to save Benito and the play at the end of the story. He is not able to control or teach the kids anything until the last day when, done trying, he effortlessly whistles and one of the little girls asks him to teach her. He ends up teaching all of the kids and that becomes the skit they perform. The representative is pleased by it and Benito is offered the job as counselor permanently.
