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>

Masja [62]

Answer:

All of the above.

Explanation:

Charlotte Bronte's classic "Jane Eyre" revolves around the story of a young girl named Jane Eyre, an orphan who suffered a lot during her childhood but became independent and found love and happiness in the end. The whole story deals with the theme of love, suffering, life's struggles, and the eventual happiness that comes.

The opening chapters of the novel present a young Jane living with her Aunt Reed and her children who treated her nothing more than a servant (<em>"you are less than a servant, for you do nothing for your keep"</em>) or a hindrance. She was asked to address her cousin John Reed as <em>"Master Reed</em>", was punished for whatever claims they can find and get, and locked up whenever she showed any form of resistance. She also stated <em>"I was a discord in Gateshead Hall: I was like nobody there"</em>, showing how unpleasant it was for her to be there and live under their care.

Why are people responsible for the corona crisis ( corona says) class 11​
Vlad1618 [11]
People are not entirely responsible for the crisis but they 99% contribute to the virus not going away. There are common measures that health care professionals wants us to stay take to stay safe but we as human always want to do things our way. For example, people should wash their hand oftenly or use hand sanitizer but how often do we do that? Don’t get me wrong I didn’t say people don’t go by the rules but the number are small. I went to the mall and mask are required to be wore properly (meditated) there was this guy in the store that only cover his mouth with the mask and his nose was outside. When one of the workers approached him, his response were “me wearing mask will not make the virus to go away.”

If someone heard that and said the same thing to another store, it’s just gonna be spreading. We contribute to the virus spreading and taken over the world
