Question

question 7 of 10
which sentence uses correct subject-verb agreement?
a. the things we heard about him turned out to be true.
b. the screen over my flowers are keeping them warm.
c. my jeans has gotten wet from the rainstorm.
d. an employee who lives in the suburbs have to drive into the city.

Explanation:

• For option A: The plural subject "The things" matches the plural past tense verb "turned", so subject-verb agreement is correct.
• For option B: The singular subject "The screen" requires the singular verb "is" instead of "are", so agreement is wrong.
• For option C: The plural noun "jeans" requires the plural verb "have" instead of "has", so agreement is wrong.
• For option D: The singular subject "An employee" requires the singular verb "has" instead of "have", so agreement is wrong.

Answer:

A. The things we heard about him turned out to be true.
