english subject-verb?

Question

Which sentence is a subject-verb agreement?
1. The sound of the waves are drowning out their cries for help.
2. Either Jim or I am going to the convention.
3. Neither Carol nor her children is coming to the reunion.
4. There is too many people to fit into this small room.

Answer 1

I would say 2.

In 1. the noun is "sound" which is singular and the verb is "are drowning" which is plural. They don't match.
In 3 the nouns are "Carol" which is singular and "her children" which is plural and the verb is "is coming" with is singular which doesn't match with her children.
In 4 the noun is "many people" which is plural and the verb is "is" which is singular and they don't match.

Answer 2

Question 2. 3. and 4. are grammatically incorrect and should be:
2. Neither Jim or I are going to the convention.
3. Neither Carol nor her children are coming to the reunion.
4. There are too many people to fit into this small room. So that leaves Question 1. as the only sentence that has subject-verb agreement. You can find out more by visiting my web-site www.billteacher.info.

Answer 3

number 3

Answer 4

interior the 0.33 individual: a million. Plural verbs haven't any s on the acceptable: They run. They talk. They walk. They dance. 2. Singular verbs have an s on the acceptable: He runs. She talks. He walks. She dances. interior the first and second individual: No s, ever: I run. You talk. We run. You (all) dance. this can be difficult because nouns are any opposite direction round. case in point, dogs, cups and pens are all plural, while cat, mug and brush are singular.

Answer 5

It can't be number one, because 'sound' is the subject, and the verb, 'are,' is plural.

It is not number four because 'people' is the plural subject, yet 'is' is singular.

The answer is either two or three. I think it is number two, but I am not 100% certain.
