The other sentences contain subject-verb agreement errors:

1. "The surface of the parking lots was redone this summer." (singular subject "surface")

3. "The cars in the parking lot belong to the teachers." (plural subject "cars")

Where are the hookup for the hose?

Where are the watering cans stored?

Where is the plants growing?
Where is the plants growing?

Answer 3

The sentence that demonstrates correct subject-verb agreement is:

"Where are the watering cans stored?"

The subject "watering cans" is plural, and it correctly uses the plural verb "are."

The other sentences have subject-verb agreement issues:

1. "Where is the students going to plant?" (should be "Where are the students going to plant?")
2. "Where are the hookup for the hose?" (should be "Where is the hookup for the hose?")
3. "Where is the plants growing?" (should be "Where are the plants growing?")

Responses

The visiting team were putting on their uniforms.
The visiting team were putting on their uniforms.

The audience was ready for the game to begin.
The audience was ready for the game to begin.

The choir was going to sing the National Anthem.
The choir was going to sing the National Anthem.

The team was scheduled to play on Sunday.
The team was scheduled to play on Sunday.

Answer 5

The sentence that contains a plural collective noun is:

"The visiting team were putting on their uniforms."

In this sentence, "team" is a collective noun that refers to a group of players. The use of "were" suggests treating the collective noun as plural, which is often done in British English.

The other sentences use collective nouns that are treated as singular:

1. "The audience was ready for the game to begin." (audience)
2. "The choir was going to sing the National Anthem." (choir)
3. "The team was scheduled to play on Sunday." (team)

In American English, collective nouns are generally treated as singular, so "were" would not typically be used in the examples provided.

Which sentence displays correct subject-verb agreement?(1 point)
Responses

The herd are milked each morning.
The herd are milked each morning.

The herd is in the north pasture.
The herd is in the north pasture.

The herd have calves in the spring.
The herd have calves in the spring.

The herd remain in the barn.

Answer 7

The sentence that displays correct subject-verb agreement is:

"The herd is in the north pasture."

In this sentence, "herd" is a collective noun that is treated as singular, hence it correctly takes the singular verb "is."

The other sentences have subject-verb agreement issues:

1. "The herd are milked each morning." (should be "The herd is milked each morning.")
2. "The herd have calves in the spring." (should be "The herd has calves in the spring.")
3. "The herd remain in the barn." (should be "The herd remains in the barn.")
