<span>When you look up a word in a basic dictionary, there is quite a bit of information you’ll find.  Of course, you’ll find the definition of the word.  If the word, however, has more than one meaning, all meanings will be presented in the entry.  The word will be spaced out into syllables.  You’ll see the phonetic pronunciation of the word.  For instance, if you look up the word, “happy,” you’ll see “hap-ee.”  In addition, some dictionaries will also present a word’s language origin (such as Latin or French) as well as the part of speech such as whether the word is a noun, verb, adjective, etc. </span>

In which sentence do the subject and verb agree? Nothing taste as good as my dad's five-alarm chili. Most of the group's music a
stich3 [128]

Answer:

The sentence in which the subject and the verb agree is:

Some of Meredith's poems make me laugh.

Explanation:

In English we must pay attention to the subject in order to choose the correct form of the verb that refers to it. If the subject is plural, the verb must be in its plural form. But if it's singular, the verb must be altered in accordance, especially if it is the third person of speech (he, she, or it). Let's take a look at the sentences:

1. Nothing taste as good as my dad's five-alarm chili. --> "taste" refers to "nothing". Since "nothing" is third-person singular, the correct conjugation would be "tastes".

2. Most of the group's music are playing on the radio. --> "are" refers to "most", but "most" refers to "music", which is uncountable. For that reason, "most" needs a singular verb. The correct form would be "is".

3. Several of those coats is on sale this week. --> "is" refers to "several". "Several" implies that there are many of something, and it refers to "coats", which is clearly plural. The correct form would be "are".

4. Some of Meredith's poems make me laugh. --> This is the sentence with the correct subject-verb agreement. "Some" refers to "poems", which is a countable noun in its plural form. Thus, the verb "make" is correct.

Daisy is not actually the first member of the Miller Family that Winterbourne meets: he encounters Daisy’s younger brother, Rand
Natali [406]

Answer:

By having Winterbourne first meet Randolph instead of Daisy, Henry James is able to establish some indirect inferences about Daisy. She has a younger brother, who is a bit impetuous, as the reader will find Daisy to be. He is a bit manipulative in that he approaches someone he has never met to ask a favor, "Will you give me a lump of sugar?" and with this he pushes his advantage and takes three cubes. This is also very much like his sister as she uses her feminine wiles to get Winterbourne to promise to take her to see the castle. So, in these things, James is able to introduce, in Randolph, some of the traits that the reader will later find in Daisy.

Ramdolph sybolizes the the patriotic fervor seen in many Americans, which the Europeans cannot seem to understand. In Randolph's eyes everything is better in America, 'I can't get any candy here—any American candy. American candy's the best candy," ""American men are the best." He says that even the moon is better in America, "You can't see anything here at night, except when there's a moon. In America there's always a moon!" This unrealistic view of his home country shows his unreserved love for America, but also tends to point towards the shortcomings of teh European countries and his dislike for them, in that they have nothing to compare to America, in Randolph's mind. This is, often, the way in which people see Americans, both proud and boastful, without a desire to understand other cultures.
