Question

complete the sentence with the correct form of the verb.
fifteen gallons of chocolate milk ______ herbert the elephant a happy pachyderm.

○ make

○ makes

○ making

○ was

Explanation:

This is a subject-verb agreement question. The subject "Fifteen gallons of chocolate milk" refers to a single quantity of liquid, so it takes a singular verb. "Making" is a participle that can't function as a main verb here, and "was" creates an illogical meaning. "Makes" is the correct singular present tense verb.

Answer:

makes
