Because of the position of the Earth. When we spin around on our axis, the moon turns around too, because of shadows, the shadow covers most of the moon at certain times

The Moon actually stays about the same apparent size no matter where in the sky it is. It simply looks larger when near the horizon because of a trick of perspective. When near the horizon, you have objects along the skyline to provide a reference to compare the Moon to. 
<span>Use a quarter held out at arm's length to gauge against the Moon when it is low in the sky, and later on when it is higher up. You will find that the Moon is the same size relative to the quarter in both instances. </span>
<span>If you want to get technical, the Moon actually appears smaller when it is near the horizon, because as the Earth rotates, your location on the Earth's surface gets closest to the Moon (when it is directly overhead). However, the difference in size is so small (about 1%) that it is not noticeable to the naked eye.</span>

Proofread the following text and correct the three subject-verb disagreements.
Softa [21]

Answer:

Answer is in the explanation.

Explanation:

In grammatically correct sentences, subject and verb must agree in person (first, second, third) and in number (singular, plural). The given passage has three disagreements:  

1) ...<em>the fate of the diamond were unknown</em>...

Since <em>the fate</em> is third-person singular it needs to be followed by a verb <em>was </em>

2) <em>neither men or conflict have dimmed... </em>

It is a general rule that when we have a neither/nor (either/or) construction, the verb agrees with the closest subject ( in this case<em> the conflict</em>) which is in the third person singular, so it needs to be followed by the verb<em> has</em>

3) ... <em>the twin eighty-year-old brothers suggests.</em>..

The subject here is<em> the twin brothers</em> (they) which is third person plural, so the following verb must be <em>suggest</em>
