Question

1-4, identify the sentence in each group in which the underlined verb does NOT agree with its subject

Answer 1

Answer: The sentences in which the underlined verb does not agree with its subject are:

1- A. Everyone in max's family (like) to do jigsaw puzzles.

2- C.  Peter's favorite breakfast (are) pancakes and syrup.

3- A. There (is) volunteer jobs available at the museum.

4- B. (Is) there any seats still available.

Explanation: A verb that does not agree with its subject is a verb that has a singular form when its subject has a plural form or viceversa. In sentence 1) A., the verb "like" does not agree in number with its subject "everyone", which demands a singular verb. Similarly, in 2) C. the verb is plural ("are") whereas the subject ("Peter's favorite breakfast") is singular. Moreover, in 3) A., the singular verb "is" does not agree with the plural subject "volunteer jobs" either. Finally, the verb in 4)B. should have been "are" in order to agree in number with the plural subject "seats".
