The surface of the parking lots were redone this summer.
The surface of the parking lots were redone this summer.

Answer 1

The correct sentence is:

"The bike on the bike rack is blue."

The other sentences contain grammatical errors:

• "The sidewalks in the courtyards has been decorated with chalk." should be "The sidewalks in the courtyards have been decorated with chalk."
• "The cars in the parking lot belongs to the teachers." should be "The cars in the parking lot belong to the teachers."
• "The surface of the parking lots were redone this summer." should be "The surface of the parking lot was redone this summer." (It's "surface" [singular], so it should match with "was.")

Where are the watering cans stored?

Answer 3

The sentence that demonstrates correct subject-verb agreement is:

"Where are the watering cans stored?"

The other sentences contain subject-verb agreement errors:

• "Where is the plants growing?" should be "Where are the plants growing?"
• "Where is the students going to plant?" should be "Where are the students going to plant?"
• "Where are the hookup for the hose?" should be "Where is the hookup for the hose?" (if referring to a single hookup).

So, the correct answer is the last option.

Answer 5

The change that will correct the sentence is:

change uses to use.

The correct version would be: "All of the residents use the courtyard daily, so everybody picks up the trash and pulls weeds."

Thus, the subject "All of the residents" is plural, so the verb should be "use" instead of "uses."

Changing "picks" to "pick" is not necessary since "everybody" is treated as a singular subject, and it is correctly matched with the singular verb "picks."

Answer 6

Which sentence contains a plural collective noun?(1 point)
Responses

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

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 team was scheduled to play on Sunday.

Answer 7

The sentence that contains a plural collective noun is:

The visiting team were putting on their uniforms.

In this case, "team" is a collective noun referring to a group, and it can be treated as plural when emphasizing the individuals within the group, which is what is done in this sentence by using "were."

The other sentences feature the collective nouns "choir," "audience," and "team," but they are treated as singular in those contexts (hence paired with "was").

Answer 8

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

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

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

The herd remain in the barn.
The herd remain in the barn.

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

Answer 9

The sentence that displays correct subject-verb agreement is:

The herd is in the north pasture.

In this sentence, "herd" is a collective noun and is treated as a singular subject, which correctly aligns with the singular verb "is."

The other sentences contain subject-verb agreement errors:

• "The herd are milked each morning." should use "is" instead of "are."
• "The herd remain in the barn." should use "remains" instead of "remain."
• "The herd have calves in the spring." should use "has" instead of "have."

So, the correct answer is the first option.
