The error with the subject-verb agreement is "Here is the directions," since the singular verb "is" is incorrect, and the correct verb would be the plural "are".
<h3>What is subject-verb agreement?</h3>
Subject-verb agreement refers to the verb following the person and number of the subject. For example, the subject "I" is first person singular. Therefore, we cannot use "are," second person singular with "I". We must use the verb "am", which is first person singular as well.
That is why the section "Here is the directions" contains an error. The verb "is" is singular, but the subject "directions" is plural. The correct verb to be used is the plural "are".

Answer:
The poem's allusion to the 1982 Brixton riot:
C. illustrates the strong feelings associated with the poem's subject matter.
Explanation:
This excerpt was taken from part XXIII of Derek Walcott's "Midsummer". Born in 1930 in Saint Lucia, Walcott received several awards for his works, including the Nobel Prize. He passed away in 2017.
The simile we are analyzing here compares the summer leaves to the Brixton riot. This may seem to be quite an unlikely comparison, which is probably what the author was aiming for. It is quite powerful to compare a season to a riot and its violence. As a matter of fact, as the poem goes on, the author continues to do so. He compares, for instance, leaves and branches to cattle being whipped. All of that unusual comparison aims to illustrate the author's feelings toward his subject matter, which is clearly quite strong.
