Excitement between the two groups have risen after the election. is this correct

English
1 answer:
Mashutka [201]3 years ago
4 0

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.

Select the word from the drop-down menu that best completes the sentence.

C. The mediator is the answer because even though the question is trying to gauge whether you know the meaning of the word mediator, it is also providing a grammatical solution to itself. None of the other words fit in that sentence correctly except for mediator, and also the word mediator (someone who is keeping peace between differing parties) fits the actions the sentence is proposing.

On Pacific islands, a newly arrived gecko species, the house gecko, is displacing the previously established mourning gecko in u
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

The correct option is D: places where there are lighted buildings, insects tend to gather around the light.

Explanation:

We are looking for an option that provides an explanation of the difference between gecko populations in urban and rural areas

Option A does not explain any difference between the both species of geckos in urban and rural areas

Option B is the same as A, and does not explain any difference between the both species of geckos in urban and rural areas

Option C is also wrong because it provides an invalid information about what we are looking for.

Option E is also wrong because it provides information on how geckos reproduce, which is not what we are looking for.

These options provide information on how geckos reproduce, why people value them, and how they are transported to the Island, and about defending territories in which we do not know the type of gecko or the territories they are defending.

The correct option is D because places where we have lighted building is the URBAN AREAS and "insects tend to gather around the light", geckos are found where there are insects congregate and house geckos, prominent in Urban Areas, will not allow the mourning geckos to feed on the insect, which is the underlying reason for their displacement.
