All are correct. :-)

The first answer is "B". Hoped this helps!

1. The correct answer is b. "Washes" should be changed to "wash" in order to make the subject and verb agree. The subject of the sentence is "John and Nicole," which is a plural subject. Therefore, the correct verb form should be "wash" to agree with the plural subject.

2. The correct answer is b. Singular subjects joined by "or" or "nor" take a singular verb. In this sentence, the subject is "a kitten or a puppy," and since both options are singular, the correct verb form is "makes" to agree with the singular subject.

3. The correct answer is c. Collective nouns can be either singular or plural, depending on how they are used in a sentence. If they refer to a group as a unit, they are treated as singular. If they refer to the individuals within the group, they are treated as plural. So both option a and b are correct.

4. The correct answer is a. This is a declarative sentence. Declarative sentences make statements or provide information. In this sentence, the speaker is stating that their vacation to Niagara Falls was awesome.

5. The correct answer is c. This is an interrogative sentence. Interrogative sentences ask questions. In this sentence, the speaker is asking where the listener went on vacation.
