• Ralph's pants are nicely pressed, but his shirt looks like it hasn't been ironed in a year.
• The people who attended the fair was there because they were interested in purchasing artwork.
• Either the serving platter or the bowl are in the bottom cabinet next to the dishwasher.
• Everyone who belongs to any of the local chapters is expected to attend the conference.
• Each of the paintings submitted to the art fair was excellent and worthy of a prize.

Answer 1

The sentences that include an incorrect use of subject-verb agreement are:

1. The people who attended the fair was there because they were interested in purchasing artwork.
   (Correction: "were" should be used instead of "was" to agree with the plural subject "people.")

2. Either the serving platter or the bowl are in the bottom cabinet next to the dishwasher.
   (Correction: "is" should be used instead of "are" because the subject is singular as it refers to "either/or" which takes a singular verb.)
