Answer:
Every Monday, students in Mrs. Verdan's class work with partners to complete math challenges. Each pair selects its own work space. Jermey and Melvin go to the math center. Gregory and Leo like the sunny table by the window. Hector and Jeff choose chairs near the board. Lily and Masandra take the round table near the door. Manny and Zoe grab the soft seats in the library corner. All of the pairs have 45 minutes to solve the day's puzzle. They share their solutions with the whole group. A few students meet with Mrs. Verdan after school. She explains the solutions and answers questions. Mrs. Verdan's students always enjoy the weekly math challenges.
Explanation:
A subject and a verb must agree in the sense that, if the subject is singular, the verb must also be singular. If it is plural, the verb must also be plural. In the passage we are to correct here, the subject-verb agreement has not been respected. Let's select a couple of examples from the passage to better illustrate it:
1. "students in Mrs. Verdan's class works" --> "works" ends in -s, which indicates it is a third-person singular verb. However, the subject of the sentence is "students", not "Mrs. Verdan". "Students" is a plural noun that can be replaced with "they". "They works" is incorrect. Therefore, we should use "work".
2. "each pair select" --> "select" is a plural verb, but the subject "each pair" is single. As a matter of fact, it is always good to pay attention to the word "each", because it should always be followed by a singular verb. The correct form for the verb here is "selects".

The poem "Amoretti XXIII" refers to the story of Penelope, as told in The Odyssey. In The Odyssey, Penelope is Ulysses wife. Although Ulysses is gone for twenty years, Penelope never stops loving him, and always remained faithful to him. In order to avoid giving in to the pressure of remarrying, she states that she will only remarry once she is finished with her weaving. However, she weaves during the day and unweaves at night in order to make the wait longer.
In "Amoretti XXIII," Spencer refers to this story. However, instead of using the story as a symbol of enduring love that succeeds, he uses is as a metaphor to introduce his story of less successful love. Spencer compares himself to Penelope, and tells us that he weaves all day in order to achieve love. However, his beloved unweaves his efforts for him (<em>"Th’ importune suit of my desire to shonne:/For all that I in many dayes doo weave,/In one short houre I find by her undonne"</em>). This implies that Spencer's love is not reciprocated, which is a different take on Penelope's story. Spenser's situation leaves him heartbroken, and he tells us that his efforts are no more resistant or successful than spider webs that are destroyed by the wind (<em>"Such labour like the Spyders web I fynd,/Whose fruitless worke is broken with least wynd").</em>
