The sentence "Missouri and Illinois are states along the Mississippi River" has proper subject-verb agreement.
The sentence that has proper subject-verb agreement is: "Missouri and Illinois are states along the Mississippi River."
To determine subject-verb agreement, you need to ensure that the subject and verb agree in number. In this case, the subject is "Missouri and Illinois," which is plural. Therefore, the verb "are" is the correct form to agree with the subject.
In the other sentences, there is a lack of subject-verb agreement:
- "My sister and brother is responsible for cleaning the house this afternoon." Since "sister and brother" is a compound subject, it should take a plural verb form, "are," instead of the singular form, "is."
- "The members of the French Club is aware of the details." Similarly, "members" is a plural subject, so it should have a plural verb form, "are," instead of the singular form, "is."
- "Hope, peace, and love is achievable for everyone." Here, the plural subjects "hope, peace, and love" should be followed by the plural verb form "are" instead of the singular form "is."
