1 answer

The sentence that demonstrates correct subject-verb agreement is: D. Three-fourths of the students were late for the exam.

In this sentence, "three-fourths" is treated as a plural subject, correctly matched with the plural verb "were."

The other sentences have incorrect subject-verb agreement:

  • A: "The nanny... walk" should be "The nanny... walks."
  • B: "One of the members... have" should be "One of the members... has."
  • C: "The audience wait" should be "The audience waits."
