answers:

Answer 1

are you sure

Answer 2

The correct sentence using proper subject-verb agreement is:

**The cat carefully steps across the fence.**

Answer 3

Yes, I am sure. In the sentence "The cat carefully steps across the fence," the subject "cat" (singular) correctly agrees with the verb "steps" (also in singular form).

To clarify the incorrect sentences:

1. "The clouds swiftly moves across the sky" should be "The clouds swiftly move across the sky." (The subject "clouds" is plural, so the verb should be "move.")
2. "My brother always want to cook dinner" should be "My brother always wants to cook dinner." (The subject "brother" is singular, so the verb should be "wants.")
3. "My teachers often gives homework on the weekend" should be "My teachers often give homework on the weekend." (The subject "teachers" is plural, so the verb should be "give.")

Again, the correct sentence is indeed "The cat carefully steps across the fence."
