To rewrite the paragraph and make the verbs agree in number with their subject, we need to ensure that each verb matches the subject in terms of singular or plural form. In this case, the subject is "the triumphant tennis player" which is singular. So, we need to change the verbs from their base form to the singular form.
Here's how we can do it:
- "to feel" becomes "feels"
- "to see" becomes "sees"
- "to cheer" remains as "cheer" because it matches the plural subject "the fans"
- "to flash" remains as "flash" because it matches the plural subject "the cameras"
- "to claim" becomes "is claimed" to match the singular subject "victory"
