In which sentence do the subject and verb agree?

tldr; the answer is b

Explanation:

hi there!

let me do a quick run down of the answers to help you out in the future!

a: since "including me" is in commas, you can rule that out of the sentence and simplify it to "nobody in the room know why i said that", which makes this easier.  if you look, there's an error with the -s rule in this sentence! this sentence is wrong! in order for it to be right, the sentence must read "nobody in the room knows why i said that".

b: you should focus on the AND in this answer (ice AND spring water). in this situation, you have to look at the "spring water" bit, which is singular.  the verb in the sentence is also singular (has).  if spring water was instead something plural (for example, sodas), the sentence would be incorrect.  "ice AND sodas has always been my favorite drink". however, spring water is singular. so this is the answer.

c: your subject in this sentence is visitors, which is plural. the verb is was, which is not plural. these two don't match up!

d: there's an -s rule for figuring this out. the subject and verb cannot both have -s's on the ending! here, friends and likes both have that -s on the ending that make this one wrong. if it were friends and like, it would be correct. furthermore, if it were friend and likes, it would also be correct (with some grammatical changes to the beginning).

explanation:

mrs. mallard has a heart condition, which means that if she's startled she could die. so, when news comes that her husband's been killed in an accident, the people who tell her have to cushion the blow.

mrs. mallard's sister josephine sits down with her and dances around the truth until mrs. mallard finally understands what happened. the deceased mr. mallard's friend, richards, hangs out with them for moral support.

richards originally found out because he had been in the newspaper headquarters when a report of the accident that killed mr. mallard, which happened on a train, came through. richards waited for proof from a second source before going to the mallards' to share the news.

when mrs. mallard finds out what happened she acts differently from most women in the same position, who might disbelieve it. she cries passionately before deciding to go to her room to be by herself.

in her room, mrs. mallard sits down on a comfy chair and feels completely depleted. she looks out the window and looks out at a world that seems alive and fresh. she can see the sky coming between the rain clouds.

mrs. mallard sits still, occasionally crying briefly like a kid might.

the narrator describes her as youthful and pretty, but because of this news she looks preoccupied and absent.

she seems to be holding out for some kind of unknown news or knowledge, which she can tell is approaching.

mrs. mallard breathes heavily and tries to resist before succumbing to this unknown thing, which is a feeling of freedom.

acknowledging freedom makes her revive, and she doesn't consider whether she should feel bad about it.

mrs. mallard thinks to herself about how she'll cry when she sees her husband's dead body and how much he loved her. even so, she's kind of excited about the chance to make her own decisions and not feel accountable to anyone.

mrs. mallard feels even more swept up by the idea of freedom than the fact that she had felt love for her husband.

1. the details that would clarify the authors purpose for writing would be after the "haley collected used soccer jersey and sent them to guatemalan children." part, he would say, "and you can also donate today to save ". so far in the text, you can see no such thing. if, near the end the author persuades you to donate to guatemalans, then you know that the author's reason to write is to persuade you.

2. what details would make the text more engaging is to see the guatemalan children's reaction to getting free jerseys.

3. the details that convey the author's attitude would be an opinion by the author, for example, if he said, "haley was a very nice girl " or, you can find the attitude by finding parts of haley's personality that he highlights. you can strengthen your tones by using more descriptive words, and simplify long sentences as much as you can.
