Which of the following statements has correct subject verb agreement
A The books on the front shelf are in alphabetical order
B the books on the front shelf is in alphabetical order
C the books on the front shelf am in alphabetical order
D none of the above
Which one is the answer
The correct answer is A) The books on the front shelf are in alphabetical order.
The correct statement with subject-verb agreement is option A: "The books on the front shelf are in alphabetical order."
Subject-verb agreement is the rule in grammar that states that the verb in a sentence must agree with its subject in number (singular or plural). In this case, the subject is "books," which is in plural form, so the verb "are" is the correct form to match with the plural subject.
To determine the correct answer, you need to analyze the subject and the verb in each statement and ensure that they agree in number. In option B, the verb "is" does not agree with the plural subject "books," making it incorrect. Option C uses the incorrect form of the verb "am," which should be "are" to match the plural subject. Therefore, both options B and C are incorrect.
Option D states that none of the above statements have correct subject-verb agreement, which is correct since only option A follows the subject-verb agreement rule.
The correct statement in terms of subject-verb agreement is:
A) The books on the front shelf are in alphabetical order.
