Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. We always like to know what YOU choose so we can explain anything you don't understand.
1. is c
2. nothing is correct unless the last word of "d" is replaced.

Please leave more spaces between the sentences; they run together. "vegetables" is vegetables.
1. The correct sentence in which pronouns are used correctly is C. "I sat between him and her during the sales conference."
2. The correct sentence in which the verb agrees with the subject is D. "Not only the muffler but also the spark plugs need to be replaced."
3. The sentence that contains a predicate adjective is B. "Jerry looks ill today."
4. The sentence that agrees with the pronoun and antecedent is D. "The boys want their dessert now."
1. The sentence that uses pronouns correctly is:
c. I sat between him and her during the sales conference.
To determine which sentence uses pronouns correctly, we need to ensure that the pronouns agree in number and case with their antecedents. In option a, "you and I" should be "you and me." In option b, "between he and I" should be "between him and me." In option d, "between she and I" should be "between her and me." However, option c uses the correct pronouns "him" and "her" to refer to the people being sat between.
2. The sentence that has verb agreement with the subject is:
b. Peggy or Phyllis drives me to Florida every winter.
To determine which sentence has verb agreement with the subject, we need to ensure that the verb agrees with the subject in number and person. In option a, "has" should be "have" to agree with the plural subject "a copy of Moby Dick and a magazine." In option c, "is" should be "are" to agree with the plural subject "Les and Miranda." In option d, "replace" should be "replaced" to agree with the plural subject "the muffler and the spark plugs." However, option b uses the correct verb "drives" to agree with the singular subject "Peggy or Phyllis" (each of them individually).
3. The sentence that contains a predicate adjective is:
b. Jerry looks ill today.
To determine which sentence contains a predicate adjective, we need to identify the sentence where an adjective describes the subject. In option a, "at the map" is a prepositional phrase, not a predicate adjective. In option c, "into the microscope" is also a prepositional phrase. In option d, "disdainfully" is an adverb, not a predicate adjective. However, option b uses the adjective "ill" to describe the subject "Jerry."
4. The sentence that agrees with the pronoun and antecedent is:
d. The boys want their dessert now.
To determine which sentence agrees with the pronoun and antecedent, we need to ensure that the pronouns and antecedents agree in number and person. In option a, "for her meal" should be "for their meal" to agree with the plural antecedent "children." In option b, "as they emptied it" should be "as they emptied them" to agree with the plural antecedent "glasses." In option c, "won't eat her vegetables" should be "won't eat their vegetables" to agree with the plural antecedent "Mary and Jill." However, option d uses the pronoun "their" to agree with the plural antecedent "boys."
