Answer:

In the sentence, "Mr. Wilkinson is trying to concentrate on his yard work but a swarm of bees keep distracting him." the incorrect verb used is "keep." This is because the noun, "swarm of bees" is collective. When collective noun is used, the verb should be in singular form. So the correct sentence should be "Mr. Wilkinson is trying to concentrate on his yard work but a swarm of bees keeps distracting him."

Explanation:

A subject/verb agreement error occurs when the subject and verb of a sentence do not. agree in number. Singular Subject + Singular Verb = Agreement. Plural Subject + Plural Verb = Agreement.

Explanation:

The purpose of freedom of speech is to allow people to freely discuss and debate their ideas, especially pertaining to matters of public interest and government. In a democracy, it is important for all citizens to be able to hear the viewpoints of others and to express their own ideas. People should be free to communicate facts, observations and opinions that may help others to understand the issues and make decisions.

When people abuse freedom of speech by deliberately distorting facts, or passing off false information as if it were a fact, it undermines our fundamental rights to live in the security and safety that our nation was founded to protect: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
