"Sixteen" is a story of unrequited young love and the flirtation that led the female character to think it was love. The story takes place at a skating rink in Wisconsin, a Thursday night of 1938. The unnamed characters of the story are a teenage girl and boy who meet while skating and finding instantly attracted to each other begin to flirt, laugh, and get personal. She allows him to put his hand around her waist (he actually does this without even asking for permission) and after skating is over he walks her home. He takes her phone number and promises to call, but never does. When she accepts he will never call she begins to reason on the futility of their encounter and moves on.

Which sentence has correct subject and verb agreement? A) We be planning to celebrate all night. B) Both of my older sisters pla
Arlecino [84]

<em>Neither Carla nor Tim plays in the marching band </em>is the sentence with the correct subject-verb agreement.

Explanation:

In the context of linguistics, the term <em>agreement</em> refers to words changing their form in a certain way that depends on the other words to which they relate.

According to the subject-verb agreement, the verb and the subject must agree in number. This means that, if the verb is singular, the subject must also be singular, and the other way around.

An example of the correct subject-verb agreement is the sentence <em>Neither Carla nor Tim plays in the marching band.</em><em> </em>Even if there are two subjects in the given case, the verb is singular. When the subjects are both singular and are connected by the words <em>or, nor, neither/nor, either/or, </em>or<em> not only/but also</em>, the verb is also singular.

Sentence A is incorrect as <em>we</em> is a plural noun and should be used with the plural verb (<em>are</em> instead of <em>be</em>). Sentences B and C are similar. <em>Sisters</em> is plural, so instead of <em>plays</em>, the form<em> play </em>should be used. <em>Frogs </em>is also plural, and the correct form of the verb would be<em> croak.</em>
