To get the answer to both of these questions, we need to understand subject-verb agreement. In English grammar, the subject and verb in a sentence must agree in number. This means that if the subject is singular, the verb should be singular, and if the subject is plural, the verb should be plural.
Let's analyze each sentence:
5. Most factories are busy.
- The subject of the sentence is "Most factories," which is plural.
- The verb "are" agrees with the plural subject "factories."
Therefore, the correct answer is "Factories/are busy."
9. People are watching a show.
- The subject of the sentence is "People," which is plural.
- The verb "are" agrees with the plural subject "People."
Therefore, the correct answer is "People/are watching."
