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

English
1 answer:
maw [93]3 years ago
4 0

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>

A preparation outline
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Among the answer choices provided, that one that describes a preparation outline is the one that says it:

A. Is written in complete sentences.

A preparation outline, as the name suggests, helps us prepare our speech.

Even if it is just an outline, it must be written in complete sentences. A preparation outline should not use just keywords.

It should consist of three parts: <u>introduction, body, and conclusion.</u>

A preparation outline does not use bullet points, and it is used before delivering the speech.

The outline that contains delivery cues is the speaking outline, not the preparation outline.

With that, we can see that the correct option is letter A.
