The correct statement with subject-verb agreement is:
They are working on improving the environment.
The correct statement with subject-verb agreement is:
"The books on the front shelf are in alphabetical order."
To determine which statement has the correct subject-verb agreement, let's first understand what subject-verb agreement means. Subject-verb agreement refers to the grammatical correspondence between a subject and the verb in a sentence. In English, the subject and the verb must agree in number, which means that a singular subject should have a singular verb, and a plural subject should have a plural verb.
In the given options:
1. "The books on the front shelf are in alphabetical order." - This statement correctly uses the plural verb "are" to match the plural subject "books." Here, subject-verb agreement is correct.
2. "The books on the front shelf are in in alphabetical order." - This statement is incorrect due to a duplicated "in." However, the subject-verb agreement is correct with the use of the plural verb "are" to match the plural subject "books."
3. "The books on the front shelf is in alphabetical order." - This statement is incorrect because it uses the singular verb "is" with the plural subject "books." The subject and verb do not agree in number, resulting in incorrect subject-verb agreement.
4. "The books on the front shelf is in alphabetical order." - This statement is incorrect due to a duplicated "in." Additionally, the subject-verb agreement is incorrect with the use of the singular verb "is" to match the plural subject "books."
5. "The books on the front shelf am in alphabetical order." - This statement is incorrect because it uses the incorrect form of the verb "am," which is the first-person singular. The subject-verb agreement is incorrect in both the verb form and number agreement.
Therefore, the correct statement with subject-verb agreement is the first option: "The books on the front shelf are in alphabetical order."
