1. The correct sentence with subject-verb agreement is: "Applied mathematics was my major in college." To determine the correct subject-verb agreement, you need to identify the subject (in this case, "applied mathematics") and determine whether it is singular or plural. Since "applied mathematics" is a singular concept, the verb "was" is the correct form to agree with it.
2. The statement is false. Most singular nouns that end in "s" still take singular verbs. For example, the correct sentence would be: "The local news is a good source for community events." In this case, "news" is treated as a singular noun, so the verb "is" is used.
3. The correct sentence with subject-verb agreement is: "There are several forms that you need to complete when you adopt a pet." In this sentence, "forms" is the subject and it is plural, so the verb "are" (plural form) is used to agree with it.
4. The statement is true. The subject and verb should agree even when other words come between them. For example, in the sentence "The students, as well as their teacher, are excited about the upcoming trip to Italy," the subject "students" is plural, so the verb "are" is used to agree with it.
5. The correct sentence with subject-verb agreement is: "Neither my dad nor my siblings want to go to the family reunion this summer." In this sentence, the subjects "dad" and "siblings" are connected with "nor," indicating a negative statement. Since the verb should agree with the closest subject, the plural form "want" is used.
6. The correct sentence with subject-verb agreement is: "If anyone needs to buy a new laptop, give her or him my contact information." In this sentence, the subject "anyone" is singular, so the verb "needs" (singular form) is used to agree with it.
7. The statement is true. As a general rule, collective nouns take singular verbs. For example, the correct sentence would be: "This year the graduating class is having a beach party after the ceremony." In this sentence, "class" is a collective noun and is treated as a singular entity, so the verb "is" is used.
8. The statement is true. Titles of works and company names should be treated as singular nouns. For example, the correct sentence would be: "The Secret Life of Bees is a novel that was made into a movie last year." In this sentence, "The Secret Life of Bees" is the title of a work and is treated as a singular noun, so the verb "is" is used.
9. The statement is false. Compound subjects joined with "and" should take plural verbs. For example, the correct sentence would be: "The CD player and moon-roof are included in the car's price." In this sentence, the compound subject "CD player and moon-roof" is plural, so the verb "are" (plural form) is used to agree with it.
10. The correct sentence with subject-verb agreement is: "Everyone on the guest list is attending the dinner." In this sentence, "everyone" is a singular pronoun, so the verb "is" is used to agree with it.
