<h2 id="content-id-1262-3">Solutions of Easy Level Subject Verb Agreement Questions</h2>

Q:1 (4) “Exercise” is singular, so there verb used should also be singular. Hence, ‘are quite easier’ should be replaced by ‘is quite easy’.

Q:2 (1) As the subject ‘he’ is singular, so the verb used should also be singular. So, ‘want’ should be replaced by ‘wants’.

Q:3 (4) As ‘nobody’ is a singular pronoun, so the verb used should also be in the singular form. So, ‘were’ should be replaced by ‘was’.

Q:4 (3) ‘are to’ violates the subject-verb agreement because ‘are’ is a linking verb. Since the subject of the sentence is singular, we cannot use the plural linking verb ‘are’. The sentence hence can be improved by using a singular linking verb ‘is’.

Q:5 (4) There is an error in subject-verb agreement as the plural verb “sell” does not align with the subject “A shop”. Thus, ‘sell’ should be replaced with ‘sells’.

Q:6 (3) The use of ‘have’ is erroneous in the given sentence implying the subject-verb agreement. Always remember that a collective noun is always followed by a singular verb. Therefore, the collective noun “team” should be followed by the verb “has”.

Q:7 (1) A singular subject should follow a singular verb. So, ‘is’ should be used instead of ‘are’ as pizza is singular.

Q:8 (3) Shamim is a singular noun hence, singular verb should be used.

Q:9 (4) The error is based on the ‘error of proximity’. Here, the subject is ‘focus’ not ‘countries’ as it appears. Since the subject is singular the verb should also be singular i.e ‘reflects’.

Q:10 (4) Part B seems to be contextually wrong as in the sentence after the word “threat” the verb “are” seems to follow which lacks grammatical correction. The verb “are” is used to denote 'plural'

<h2 id="content-id-1262-4">Solutions of Moderate Level Subject Verb Agreement Questions</h2>

Q:1 (2) The usage of the word ‘known’ is incorrect. It should be replaced by ‘know’.

Q:2 (4) ‘One of the’ is singular but conjugates with a plural noun it talks about one member of a group.

Q:3 (3) Always remember that the expression, “ a number of” is always followed by a plural noun and a plural verb. Don’t get confused by the use of article “a”. Thus, a plural verb needs to be used. This implies that prefers will be replaced prefer.

Q:4 (1) Since the subject in the given sentence is plural in nature and requires is used with a subject singular in nature. Thus, “requires” will be replaced with “require”.

Q:5 (1) The phrase ‘Kind of novels’ is singular in nature. Whereas ‘these’ is used with plural nouns, and thus is erroneous in nature. Therefore, instead of ’these', we should use ‘this’.

Q:6 (2) In the above sentence we need to use ‘even though’ as a conjunction. It is a subordinate conjuntion which makes the fact in the main clause look surprising.

Q:7 (4) The crew of sailors is a collective noun, so it should take a singular verb. So, were should be replaced by was.

Q:8 (4) Statement “B” contains a grammatical error in it The presence of “are” is incorrect here. As the sentence revolves around a singular noun so it should be “is”.

Q:9 (4) The helping verb “has” is incorrect. It should be “have” as “practices” is plural.

Q:10 (2) In the given sentence, the subject is a singular noun i.e. ‘index’. It should be followed by a singular verb i.e. ‘maps’.

<h2 id="content-id-1262-5">Solutions of Hard Level Subject Verb Agreement Questions</h2>

Q:1 (2) The pronoun neither is the subject of the sentence. Neither is singular and requires a singular verb (has).

Q:2 (2) 'Neither-nor' is a co-relative conjunction that connects two different parts of a sentence. The verb taken should be in accordance with the nearest subject. Thus, 'was' should be used instead of ‘were’.

Q:3 (3) Since, the subject of the given sentence is singular in nature, the verb should also be singular. So, the verb ‘were’ will be replaced by the verb ‘was’.

Q:4 (1) As per the subject-verb agreement, if ‘each, every, one’ is used after ‘of’, then the ‘noun and pronoun’ followed by ‘of’ will be plural in nature. Thus, ‘one of Gita’s best friend’ will be replaced by ‘one of Gita’s best friends’.

Q:5 (3) Clearly, in the given sentence employees is a noun that is plural in nature. In the given sentence, ‘were’ should be used in place of ‘was’.

Q:6 (1) The word “do” is wrong here, instead it should be “does” as the statement seems to be talking about the world which is a singular entity.

Q:7 (2) The sentence cites an incorrect usage of the verb. The verb ‘reveal’ that has been used in the sentence needs to be in a singular form and the data has been cited w.r.t joint monitoring i.e. a single unit/ organization as a whole.

Q:8 (4) ‘Economist’ is a countable noun and since ‘three’ is mentioned in the sentence, it must be ‘economists’ i.e in plural form. In part A, the usage of ‘by’ is incorrect because ‘three economists’ is not the agent here. So, ‘to’ is correct here. ‘Having’ is used when two actions occur one after the other, but not simultaneously. Instead, it should be ‘has’ as ‘focus’ is a singular subject.

Q:9 (2) The sentence needs a singular verb i.e. ‘has’ in the sentence as the subject is singular (National Highway 66).

Q:10 (2) The error is in the second part of the sentence. The word “symbolize” should have an “s” added to it at the end. The verb with a third-person singular noun as a subject has an added ‘s’ on the end to make it plural
