2. Applied mathematics were my major in college.

My answer is 1

Answer 1

Right.

Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

Your answer is correct. Sentence 1, "Applied mathematics was my major in college," demonstrates correct subject-verb agreement. In this sentence, the singular subject "Applied mathematics" is correctly paired with the singular verb "was." When the subject is singular, the verb should also be singular. Sentence 2, "Applied mathematics were my major in college," does not have subject-verb agreement because the plural verb "were" is used instead of the singular verb "was."
