In the subject-verb agreement, the subject and the verb should agree with each other in number that is singular or plural. Therefore,  the subject is plural then the verb form is plural and if the subject is singular then the verb form is singular.

Therefore, pair of verb which correctly completes the sentence is 'was, was' written as,

At the dig, bread and butter was served, and every man and woman was hungry.

Since in the sentence above, bread and butter are two objects and plural, but the butter and bread being in singular form, verb agree with the subject and hence is written in singular form 'was.'

Which of the following sentences uses parallel structure?
Alchen [17]
D. parallel structure just means that all of your verbs in the comma series line up in regards to tenses, here. in choice D, it's "BE friendly," "INTRODUCE yourself," and "SMILE." these are all present tense verbs.

the rest of the choices don't match--"exercise" and "stretching" are two different verb forms in choice A, "to go to the library" is the odd one out in choice B, ane "to build" doesn't match with the "-ing" verbs in choice C.

Ann [662]

Periodic research reports would be appropriate for the freeway project.

Explanation:

A freeway project is a construction project that is worked upon on the freeway or a fast moving lane in the suburb or outer city.

This makes these constructions important and out of the eye of the city at the same time.

To regulate these types of constructions effectively, a periodic report will be beneficial as the officials can get the real picture of the construction t regular intervals and will be able to mark its progress along with the material used until the time, according to efficiency.

What happens on pages 56-89 of old man and the sea?
Marrrta [24]

Answer: From the very first paragraph, Santiago is characterized as someone struggling against defeat. He has gone eighty-four days without catching a fish—he will soon pass his own record of eighty-seven days. Almost as a reminder of Santiago’s struggle, the sail of his skiff resembles “the flag of permanent defeat.” But the old man refuses defeat at every turn: he resolves to sail out beyond the other fishermen to where the biggest fish promise to be. He lands the marlin, tying his record of eighty-seven days after a brutal three-day fight, and he continues to ward off sharks from stealing his prey, even though he knows the battle is useless.

Because Santiago is pitted against the creatures of the sea, some readers choose to view the tale as a chronicle of man’s battle against the natural world, but the novella is, more accurately, the story of man’s place within nature. Both Santiago and the marlin display qualities of pride, honor, and bravery, and both are subject to the same eternal law: they must kill or be killed. As Santiago reflects when he watches the weary warbler fly toward shore, where it will inevitably meet the hawk, the world is filled with predators, and no living thing can escape the inevitable struggle that will lead to its death. Santiago lives according to his own observation: “man is not made for defeat . . . [a] man can be destroyed but not defeated.” In Hemingway’s portrait of the world, death is inevitable, but the best men (and animals) will nonetheless refuse to give in to its power. Accordingly, man and fish will struggle to the death, just as hungry sharks will lay waste to an old man’s trophy catch.
