Which two parts of this excerpt from W. W. Jacobs's "The Monkey's Paw" show that the White family does not believe in the talism

an's power? The other shook his head and examined his possession closely. "How do you do it?" he inquired. "Hold it up in your right hand, and wish aloud," said the Sergeant-Major, "But I warn you of the consequences." "Sounds like the 'Arabian Nights,'" said Mrs. White, as she rose and began to set the supper. "Don't you think you might wish for four pairs of hands for me." Her husband drew the talisman from his pocket, and all three burst into laughter as the Sergeant-Major, with a look of alarm on his face, caught him by the arm. "If you must wish," he said gruffly, "Wish for something sensible." Mr. White dropped it back in his pocket, and placing chairs, motioned his friend to the table. In the business of supper the talisman was partly forgotten, and afterward the three sat listening in an enthralled fashion to a second installment of the soldier's adventures in India.

Which sentence has the correct subject-verb agreement? In 1977, in the Midwest, there were millions of dollars of destruction fr
kap26 [50]
In 1977, in the Midwest, there was millions of dollars of destruction from a tornado that lasted <span> seven hours.

Since the subject here is the Midwest which is singular the linking verb should agree with the subject as singular thus, was.

Further example,
</span><span>The sentence that includes an error in the subject-verb agreement is:

A. Either June or her children are going to the movie tonight. 

This sentence should read:
Neither June nor her children are going to the movie tonight. 
"Nor" and "neither" go together and they are the negative form of "or" and "either". "Or and "either" are the positive form of "nor" and "neither". 
<span>A good example of using "or" and "either" is the following sentence:You can either run or cycle to the shops. </span>
</span>
