1 answer
The correct change that should be made in sentence 9 is:
C. Change are to is
The corrected sentence should read: "If we go to Big Bend National Park, each of us is sure to have a fun and fascinating experience." This is because "each" is a singular subject, hence it requires the singular verb "is."
