The sentence with proper subject-verb agreement is:
Missouri and Illinois are states along the Mississippi River.
The sentence with 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 (singular or plural). In this case, the subject is "Missouri and Illinois," which is a plural noun phrase because it refers to two different states. The verb "are" is also plural, matching the subject "Missouri and Illinois."
On the other hand, the other sentences demonstrate subject-verb disagreement.
- "The members of the French Club is aware of the details." In this sentence, the verb "is" is singular, but the subject "members" is plural, so they do not agree.
- "Hope, peace, and love is achievable for everyone." Here, the verb "is" is singular, but the subject consists of three nouns, so it should be plural.
- "My sister and brother is responsible for cleaning the house this afternoon." Again, the verb "is" is singular, but the subject "sister and brother" is plural, so they do not agree. Instead, it should say "are" to match the plural subject.
