Ms. Sue Thank you for you help!

22. To determine which sentence has the verb agree with the subject, we need to analyze each sentence and identify if the verb corresponds correctly with the subject.

A. "Here is the reasons we can't start the car." - In this sentence, there is a disagreement between the subject "reasons" (plural) and the verb "is" (singular). The verb does not agree with the subject.

B. "The book that explains the plays is on the shelf." - In this sentence, the subject "book" (singular) agrees with the verb "explains" (singular). The verb agrees with the subject.

C. "Who is the people in the photograph?" - In this sentence, there is a disagreement between the subject "people" (plural) and the verb "is" (singular). The verb does not agree with the subject.

D. "There is a million reasons why I shouldn't go." - In this sentence, the subject "reasons" (plural) does not agree with the verb "is" (singular). The verb does not agree with the subject.

Therefore, the sentence where the verb agrees with the subject is sentence B: "The book that explains the plays is on the shelf."

23. To determine the purpose of the sentence "I think it would be best to study the problem carefully," we need to analyze its structure and context.

The sentence begins with the subject "I," followed by the main verb "think." This indicates that the sentence expresses a thought or opinion. The remaining part of the sentence "it would be best to study the problem carefully" provides a suggestion or recommendation.

Therefore, the purpose of the sentence is to make a statement and provide a suggestion. The correct answer is B: It makes a statement.

24. To identify the word with the suffix "-ing" added correctly, we need to review each option.

A. "Findding" - The correct spelling should be "Finding" with two "d's" instead of three.

B. "Stoping" - The correct spelling should be "Stopping" with two "p's" instead of one.

C. "Talking" - The word is spelled correctly. It has the suffix "-ing" added to the verb "talk."

D. "Hopeing" - The correct spelling should be "Hoping" with one "e" instead of two.

Therefore, the word with the suffix "-ing" added correctly is option C: "Talking."

25. To identify the interrogative sentence, we need to determine if the sentence asks a question.

A. "I passed the entrance examination!" - This sentence is a declarative statement, not an interrogative sentence.

B. "What will you do when the well goes dry?" - This sentence asks a question using the word "what," making it interrogative.

C. "Be so kind as to feed my dog." - This sentence is an imperative or command, not an interrogative sentence.

D. "The canned tuna is in the pantry." - This sentence is a declarative statement, not an interrogative sentence.

Therefore, the interrogative sentence is sentence B: "What will you do when the well goes dry?"
