Answer:

The<u> football team</u> ( play / plays ) every Friday night.

The <u>girls in the choir</u> will ( sing / sings ) at the concert this Tuesday.

In the morning, a <u>flock of birds</u> ( fly / flies ) to the pond.

Before school starts, <u>he</u> ( put / puts ) his belongings in his backpack.

<u>Each player on the team</u> needs to ( stretch / stretches ) before the game starts.

Explanation:

This can be explained with the subject-verb agreement. If the subject is singular, then the verb must also be singular. If the subject is plural then a plural verb must also be used. The subject and verb must match or agree. Using the example, <u>Mary</u> ( like / likes ) chocolate, Mary would be the subject as the verb is connected to her. Chocolate can't be the subject as the chocolate is not liking, but Mary likes the chocolate.

Which of the following lines uses figurative language?
tia_tia [17]

The line that uses figurative language is the last one: The girl's eyes were deep blue oceans.

<u>Figurative language refers to the use of figures of speech to make a literary text more impactful and to develop a more creative writing</u>. Some forms of figurative language are simile, metaphor and personification<u>. In the case of the line "The girl's eyes were deep blue oceans", there is a metaphor since a thing (the deep blue oceans) is regarded as representative of something else (the girl's eyes)</u>. In that way, the author is describing the girl's eyes by means of a comparison that, at the same time, should not been taken literally.
