Explanation:

Question 1

To determine if the subject is singular or plural, we look at the subject "Henry" (a single person) and the verb "runs" (third - person singular form). However, the original selection of "plural" is incorrect. The correct classification should be based on the subject. "Henry" is a singular subject, and the verb "runs" also agrees with a singular subject. But if we are to go with the options as presented (assuming a possible error in the original marking), but based on grammar rules: the subject "Henry" is singular, and the noun "restaurant" is also singular. So the correct option should be "singular". But if we consider the original marked option, there is a mistake. But following the task of providing the correct option:

The subject "the post office" is a single entity (a singular noun phrase), and the verb "closes" is in the third - person singular form, which agrees with a singular subject. So the correct option is "singular" which is marked correctly.

Answer:

A. singular
