Question

1. which sentence has the correct subject - verb agreement? most storms occurs at this time of year due to weather patterns. most storms occur at this time of year due to weather patterns.

Explanation:

To determine correct subject - verb agreement, we analyze the subject and verb. The subject "Most storms" is plural. For a plural subject in the present simple tense, the verb should be in its base form (without the -s/-es ending). In the first option, the verb "occurs" is singular (used with third - person singular subjects like "he/she/it"), which is incorrect. In the second option, the verb "occur" is the base form, suitable for the plural subject "Most storms".

Answer:

The sentence with correct subject - verb agreement is: Most storms occur at this time of year due to weather patterns.
