Why do you think your answers are right?

Answered by Anonymous
I think my second answer is correct for the first question because the nouns are singular. But I am uncertain about my answer to the second question.
Answered by Ms. Sue
You're right.

Both sentences have singular subjects and thus need singular verbs.
