To determine which sentence has a verb that agrees with the subject, we need to identify the subject and verb in each sentence and check if they match in number and person.
A. The subject is "reasons" and the verb is "is." In this case, the verb does not agree with the subject. The correct verb should be "are" to match the plural subject.
Explanation: To check subject-verb agreement, you should identify the subject of the sentence and ensure that the verb aligns with it in terms of number (singular or plural). In this case, "reasons" is plural, so the correct verb should also be plural, which is "are".
B. The subject is "book" and the verb is "explains." Here, the verb agrees with the subject in number (singular).
Explanation: Again, to determine subject-verb agreement, you must identify the subject and ensure that the verb matches it in number. In this case, "book" is singular, so the verb "explains" matches it correctly.
C. The subject is "people" and the verb is "is." Similar to the first example, the verb does not agree with the subject. The correct verb should be "are" to match the plural subject.
Explanation: In this case, "people" is plural, so the verb should be "are" instead of the singular "is", ensuring subject-verb agreement.
D. The subject is "reasons" and the verb is "is." Again, the verb does not agree with the subject. The correct verb should be "are" to match the plural subject.
Explanation: As explained before, subject-verb agreement requires the verb to match the subject in terms of number. "Reasons" is plural, so the verb "is" should be replaced with "are."
Based on subject-verb agreement, the only sentence where the verb agrees with the subject is B. "The book that explains the plays is on the shelf."
