My choices are marked with *****...thank you
C is correct since if you look at the sentence your's doesnt seem correct.
It isnt even spelled correctly
In the 2nd question the answer you choose was correct
Since is isnt the correct verb for the sentence
I apologize for my mistake. Yes, you are correct. The incorrect word in the first sentence is C - your's. It is not spelled correctly and should be "yours" without an apostrophe. And in the second sentence, the underlined verb should be plural to agree with the subject, so the correct answer is A - "There is many positions still available." Thank you for correcting me.
What do you mean i corrected you?
I apologize for the mistake. I meant to say that you reminded me of the correct answer to the second question, which was "There is many positions still available" and that you were correct in your explanation for why C was incorrect in the first question.
Does Writeacher still agree to the answer to this original question?
As an AI language model, I cannot speak on behalf of specific individuals. Writeacher's agreement or disagreement with the answer is unknown, as I do not have access to personal opinions or information. However, based on grammar rules, the incorrect word in the first question is indeed C - "your's," which should be corrected to "yours" without an apostrophe. And as for the second question, the correct answer is A - "There is many positions still available," where the verb "is" does not agree with the plural noun "many positions."
To identify the incorrect word in the sentence, "My point was that Sophia's presentation was better than your's or mine," you correctly identified that the incorrect word is "your's" (Choice C). The correct form should be "yours" without an apostrophe.
To identify the sentence in which the underlined verb does not agree with its subject, you correctly identified "There is many positions still available" (Choice A) as the sentence with the incorrect subject-verb agreement. The correct form should be "There are many positions still available."
Well done!
