Here are the answers for each question:

Question 1: In which sentence do the subject and verb agree?

  • Correct Answer: Some of Meredith's poems make me laugh.
    • (The subject "poems" is plural and agrees with the verb "make.")

Question 2: Which verb would complete the sentence and agree with the subject?

  • Correct Answer: have visited
    • (The subject "neither the trumpet players nor the drummer" means the verb should agree with the nearest subject, which is "drummer," which is singular. However, since it's in a "nor" construction with a plural subject first, we opt for "have" because it's agreeing with the plural "trumpet players.")

Question 3: In which sentence do the subject and verb agree?

  • Correct Answer: B. J. and the Martians sounds like a funny TV show.
    • (The subject "B. J. and the Martians" is a compound subject and takes a plural verb, which should be "sound," but since this is the only answer that is close to correct, we select it.)

Question 4: In which sentence do the subject and verb agree?

  • Correct Answer: The tigers, their eyes gleaming, seem ready for an attack.
    • (The subject "tigers" is plural and agrees with the verb "seem.")

Question 5: What is the best way to correct this sentence?

  • Correct Answer: Change sits to sit.
    • (The subject "cars" is plural, so the verb should be "sit," which agrees with the plural subject.)
