The sentence that contains an error in subject-verb agreement is: The walls or the ceiling are going to be painted beige. This sentence contains an error since the compound subject "walls and ceiling" are connected by the word "or". It is a general rule that when a compound subject is connected by "or", the closer subject should agree to the verb. Therefore, since ceiling is a singular word, the verb that should be used should also be singular which is "is".

Answer:

The walls or the ceiling are going to be painted beige.

Explanation:

Subject-verb agreement refers to the correspondence of a singular subject with a singular verb, or a plural subject with a plural verb. Thus, the correct version is the following:

<em>The walls or the ceiling </em><em>is </em><em>going to be painted beige. </em>

The verb must be singular (<em>is</em>) because its nearest subject is also singular (<em>the ceiling</em>). In fact, when in the subject two nouns are linked by <em>or, neither </em>or <em>either</em>, the verb must be singular if they are both singular, and plural if they are both plural. When one of the nouns is singular and the other is plural, the verb must agree in number with the closest one.

‼️⚠️THE GIVER QUESTIONS PLZ HELP⚠️‼️
igomit [66]

Answer:

Now that Jonas can ask questions, he realizes how overwhelming it can be for one person to receive so much information.

Explanation:

Jonas discovers all the truths about human behavior. Being able to ask questions and now have access to the memories, he is overwhelmed by all these new feelings.

Some are pleasant, but others not so much. And this helps him understand why everyone else in the community is not allowed to ask questions.

Each of these memories completely overwhelms Jonas who does not understand very well what he is seeing, since it is something new to him.

Let's look at the following quote:

<em>"There was a question bothering Jonas. "Sir," he said, "The Chief </em>

<em>Elder told me - she told everyone - and you told me, too, that it </em>

<em>would be painful. So I was a little scared"</em>
