یک سوال گرامری درباره subject-verb agreement

Which of the following sentences demonstrates correct subject-verb agreement

A) The group of students is going on a field trip
B) The group of students are going on a field trip
C) The group of students am going on a field trip
D) The group of students was going on a field trip

Option A, "The group of students is going on a field trip," demonstrates correct subject-verb agreement

In this sentence, the subject is "The group of students," which is a singular noun phrase. When the subject is singular, the verb should also be singular. In this case, the verb "is" agrees in number with the singular subject, making the sentence grammatically correct

Option B, "The group of students are going on a field trip," is incorrect because it uses the plural verb "are" with a singular subject. This is a subject-verb disagreement

Option C, "The group of students am going on a field trip," is incorrect because it uses the first-person singular verb "am" with a third-person plural subject. Again, this is a subject-verb disagreement

Option D, "The group of students was going on a field trip," is incorrect because it uses the past tense verb "was" with a present tense subject. This is a tense disagreement

Therefore, option A is the correct answer as it demonstrates proper subject-verb agreement

Q NO 2

Identify the sentence with incorrect subject-verb agreement

A) The news articles about the missing cat have attracted a lot of attention
B) Every morning, the birds outside my window sings a beautiful melody
C) Neither of my friends want to go to the concert with me
D) The only person who knows the answer is the teacher

Sentence A is the one with incorrect subject-verb agreement. While "news articles" is plural, the verb "have attracted" is in the singular form. The correct sentence would be

> The news articles about the missing cat have attracted a lot of attention

Great job identifying the error! Do you want to try another question from a different grammatical point, or perhaps one with a different level of difficulty
