Question

hich sentence has correct subject and verb agreement? A) We be planning to celebrate all night. B) Both of my older sisters plays softball. C) The frogs croaks in the pond all night long. D) Neither Carla nor Tim plays in the marching ban

Answer 1

The only sentence that makes the most sense would be D) Neither Carla nor Tim plays in the marching band.

Answer 2

Answer: D) Neither Carla nor Tim plays in the marching band.

Explanation: Subject-verb agreement means the subject and verb must have the same number (both singular or both plural). When using "neither" to connect two singular nouns (as we can see in sentence D, with the nouns "Carla" and "Tim") we have to use a singular verb (in this case "plays"), therefore the correct answer is the corresponding to option D. The verb in the rest of the sentences should be: are, play, and croak.
