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.

I think that it is B: Joyful, because there is no distress, such as, "Hurry, the queen has been killed!" or an angry description. The tone is very calm but the best answer would be joyful, as singing is usually joyful.

Answer:

B. The patient will immediately spike a fever, followed by fits of chills and sweats.

Explanation:

The sentences follow a structure that start with a time period and follow with a happening. This is the case here in option B. The time period is when "<em>the patient will immediately spike a fever"</em>. What happens is that it will be <em>"followed by fits of chills and sweats"</em>. Also, this is the only option that is divided in two by a comma, which happens in all sentences os the excerpt.

Answer:

True

Explanation:

This is true! Even if a source is cited on the Works Cited page, it still needs to be cited within a text. If you don't provide in-text citations then it becomes unclear of which source is which within the body of your paper!
