In 1977, in the Midwest, there was millions of dollars of destruction from a tornado that lasted
<span>
seven hours.
Since the subject here is the Midwest which is singular the linking verb should agree with the subject as singular thus, was.
Further example,
</span><span>The sentence that includes an error in the subject-verb agreement is:
A. Either June or her children are going to the movie tonight.
This sentence should read:
Neither June nor her children are going to the movie tonight.
"Nor" and "neither" go together and they are the negative form of "or" and "either". "Or and "either" are the positive form of "nor" and "neither".
<span>A good example of using "or" and "either" is the following sentence:You can either run or cycle to the shops. </span>

Answer: A: Norris wanted to change the date of the inauguration because he believed it was unfair.
Explanation:
Norris considered the long lame-duck period as unfair because it allowed outgoing congress members to sign laws despite a new administration having been elected.
Norris´ initiative was aimed to avoid the lame-duck Congress before the inauguration, not to empower it. The time for a new president to plan before the inauguration was already established before the amendment, and was actually considered too long for that historical time. The date of the inauguration was moved from March 4 to January 20, not to the day after the election, as that wouldn´t be enough even today.
Girl same thing here. Online school isn’t the move.
