Which verb agrees in number with its subject? The forests near my home __________ many different types of trees and plants. A. c
KIM [24]
Take out the bare parts: the subject and verb: forests _____.
If you still can't tell, assimilate it to something easier. Let's say "they are". 
Both "forests" and "they" are plural. 
Now, you wouldn't say "they is"; the verb also has to be plural. 
Back to "forests _____": forests contain. (A)
By the Process of Elimination, C and D are incorrect. You also cannot fill it out with "has contained" because that is singular. It would be "have contained", but that does not make sense in the context. 
So, the final answer would sound like this: 
The forests near my home contain many different types of trees and plants.

I hope that clarifies the problem (:

Write a paragraph using the mood vengeful
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

lets try this again! heh

I stood there, certain that the cloudiness of the shower was only partially from the precipitation. My anger was clouding my vision, and I was sure it would cause me to act irrationally in time. How could I let this happen? My only friend, arrested unrightfully. They would pay. All of them. I clenched my hands into fists, gritting my teeth. The water continued to fall onto my head as I refused to move, reminding me of the water that raged all around me on the day he'd been taken. I would avenge him. After all, he'd always said that vengeance was what I was best at.
