Walking by a lane of truth
Running past a road of lies
To see the details of my youth
In which I hear my cries

Looking back I know I tried my best
But more potential could have seeped
Regardless I know have been blessed
As I see myself taking that last leap

Growing as the girl that I was
I see the Spring in my presence
To which there is no pause
Of the blossom in my essence

Which of the following sentences has a subject/verb agreement problem?
igor_vitrenko [27]
Let us dissect each sentence to tell which of these does not follow the rules for subject-verb agreement.

A.) The subject is 'each of the students' while the verb is 'is'. More particularly, the verb refers to 'each' which is singular. So, this is correct.

B.) The subject is 'student' while the verb is 'were'. The word 'were' is the paste tense of are which is used for a plural subject. But since student is singular, then the verb should have been 'was'. So, this is incorrect.

C.) The subject is 'my dog and my cat' which pertains to two nouns, thus it is plural. It agrees with its plural verb 'are'.

D.) The subject is 'Tom' while the verb is 'does'. Both are intended for singular use. So, this is correct.

Therefore, the answer to this is letter B.

Read the excerpt from "Object Lesson 1". Louise Carpenter stood tensely straight at her desk, her pretty face almost as white as
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

The author's word choice help to express the tone of the excerpt since The negative connotations of the words "tensely," "clutching," and "sizzled" give the excerpt a tone of nervousness.

Explanation:

The use of the words "tensely," "clutching," and "sizzled" are indeed giving a more powerful meaning to the general idea of this excerpt, if this moment had been written without using any of this strong words, the level of tension on Louise Carpenter could not have been almost tangible to the reader as they create expectation and an increment of stress.
