Find the error with subject-verb agreement. Select the incorrect verb and type it correctly.

English
1 answer:
maw [93]3 years ago

Answer:

The error is in the use of "was" before the subjects "pollution and disease".

The incorrect verb is "was".

The correct sentence will be <em>"pollution and disease were to blame for the decimation of the Chesapeake Bay oyster population in the 1990s"</em>.

Explanation:

When we say the subject-verb agreement, then it means that the helping verb used is dependent on the number of the subject(s). This means that if the subject is singular, then the verb will be singular, and if it is plural, then the verb also becomes plural.

Now, taking the given sentence, we can see that the subjects are <em>"pollution and disease"</em>, which is plural in nature. The use of "and" makes it plural, thereby making the use of the singular verb "was" wrong.

Thus, the correct sentence will be <u><em>"pollution and disease were to blame for the decimation of the Chesapeake Bay oyster population in the 1990s".</em></u>

Which of the actions listed can help you to determine the tone of a text?
Travka [436]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

C usually doesn't help with anything aside from implying how fast the plot is progressing, or a sudden break/ change from the initial storyline, that kind of thing.

B. The surface level topic is always very apparent, it's the underlying topic that requires knowing what's the tone of the text and some other factors to know.

D. The quantity of adjectives used usually doesn't matter as much as the quality of the adjectives used.

So A is the answer I deducted.
