It was when Beowulf and Unferth had a conversation. Unferth questions Beowulf’s capabilities when
he mentions the swimming contest that he lost to Brecca. Beowulf counters by saying that he was blown
off by storm and had to fight monsters.
He was making a statement that he was more than prepared to meet and
defeat Grendel.
Answer:
The subject-verb agreement is wrong. The correct sentence would be:
- Excitement between the two groups has risen after the election.
Explanation:
<u>If we ask the verb a simple question, we can find the subject: "What has risen after the election? Excitement between the two groups." Even though the answer is long, the simple subject itself is comprised of just one singular word: "excitement". This is the most important word, the one to which the verb refers. We can even remove the words that come after it, and the effect or meaning will be the same: "Excitement has risen after the election."</u>
The problem with "Excitement between the two groups have risen after the election" is that "have" is agreeing with "groups". However, as seen above, "groups" is not the most important word in the subject. Therefore, the verb should not agree with it.

Explanation:
I think the best topic for a speech would be Perseverance. Everything in life is about perseverance, overcoming any and all obstacles in order to achieve your dreams/goals in life. Regardless of how difficult things may get, and they will because thats just life, you need to keep persevering forward and fight for what you want. I think its a great topic and can be incredibly motivational for a speech. One great quote for this would be the following...
"The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!”
― Sylvester Stallone, Rocky Balboa
