Answer:Explanation:

The subject-verb agreement errors in the paragraph above are underlined and bolded below:

Since a desktop computer, complete with headphones for sound-based functions, exist in every office, work should be simpler.

The main subject here referred to in the sentence is “a desktop computer”, which is singular. A singular verb should follow. EXISTS is the right singular verb to use.

However, neither increased efficiency nor improved employee morale have resulted from our switch from paper to computers.

According to the rule of subject-verb agreement, when “neither…nor” is used, a singular verb is used. The correct verb to be used here would be HAS.

Indeed, each worker’s tasks has become more complex.

The subject “tasks” is in the plural form, and should attract a plural verb HAVE.

In the past, for example, one invoice or two purchase orders was needed to complete a request for supplies.

The last listed noun that serves as the subject in the sentence here, “two purchase orders”, determines the verb form that should follow. So, the plural verb “WERE” should follow.

The process, including online confirmation, now require five separate documents.

“The process” is a singular, which should attract a singular verb, “REQUIRES”.

The result of this unnecessary complication, not surprisingly, are frustration and curses.

The main subject here is “the result”, which is singular should attract a singular verb “IS”.

Everyone, including the supervisors, are fed up with the extra work.

“Everyone” is the main subject here, and attracts a singular verb “IS”.

When our division implement a new computer system next month, I expect at least two of my co-workers to quit.

“Our division” is taken as a single unit in this sentence, and should attract a singular verb, “IMPLEMENTS”.

Fifteen hours of training are needed to learn the new system, and that is more time than any of us have to waste.

“fifteen hours of training” is used here as a single unit specifying time, and should attract the singular verb, “IS”.

Also, in the later part of the sentence, “any of us” should attract a singular verb “HAS”.

Below is the paragraph after correction of the several errors:

Most jobs now require computer skills, but the digital revolution has not improved our quality of life. Since a desktop computer, complete with headphones for sound-based functions, exists in every office, work should be simpler. However, neither increased efficiency nor improved employee morale has resulted from our switch from paper to computers. Indeed, each worker’s tasks have become more complex. In the past, for example, one invoice or two purchase orders were needed to complete a request for supplies. The process, including online confirmation, now requires five separate documents. The result of this unnecessary complication, not surprisingly, is frustration and curses. Everyone, including the supervisors, is fed up with the extra work. When our division implements a new computer system next month, I expect at least two of my co-workers to quit.

Check below for the answers and explanations.

Explanation:

1) This was a time that the freedom of America was threatened by dictator states. Americans, according to Roosevelt, are greatly concerned in the defence of freedom. This defence of freedom can only be achieved if members of Congress do not only trust in armament but have great belief in that one supreme cause, the defence of freedom and the maintenance of a free world.

2) Roosevelt told the people that there were many areas of their social economy that needed improvement, he highlighted several needs of the American people that the State was aiming at meeting. He then said everybody had to pay the sacrifice for an improvement in the social and economic life. This can be done by increase in taxation.

He told the Congress that the nation's armed forces lacked sufficient weapons to defeat these dictator states. He said the only way they can help them to win this war is to provide them with weapons worth Billions of dollars. He was constantly reminding them that the defence of America's freedom was necessary at that time.

Example:

1)

"Our most useful and immediate role is to act as an arsenal for them as well as for ourselves. They do not need man power, but they do need billions of dollars worth of the weapons of defense.

The time is near when they will not be able to pay for them all in ready cash. We cannot, and we will not, tell them that they must surrender, merely because of present inability to pay for the weapons which we know they must have."

2)

" The happiness of future generations of Americans may well depend upon how effective and how immediate we can make our aid felt. No one can tell the exact character of the emergency situations that we may be called upon to meet. The Nation’s hands must not be tied when the Nation’s life is in danger."

3) The socio economic situation of America has since then been dependent on the policies of the government at different periods. Sometimes it improves, at other times it declines. For example in 1941, the unemployment rate was 9.9%, GDP growth was 17.7%, Inflation rate was 9.9%.

In 2019, the unemployment rate was 3.5%, GDP growth was 2.3%, Inflation rate was 2.3%.
