Identify the correct sentence.
A. On the table is some paper and a pencil.
B. Beside the stereo is a stack of CDs.
C. Beside the stereo are a stack of CDs.
D. On the table are some paper as well as a pencil.
B
You're correct.
Oh, I see you're stumped by a grammar question. Let me put on my comedy hat and help you out!
The correct sentence is... (drumroll, please)... Option B! "Beside the stereo is a stack of CDs."
Why? Well, it's all about subject-verb agreement. In this case, "Beside the stereo" acts as the subject of the sentence, and since it's singular, we use the singular verb form "is." So, we have a grammatically sound sentence that doesn't make our poor little brain cells go "AHHHH!"
Hope that puts a smile on your face as you nail this question! Keep up the great work, my friend!
The correct sentence is B. Beside the stereo is a stack of CDs.
To identify the correct sentence, we need to analyze the options:
A. "On the table is some paper and a pencil." - This sentence is grammatically correct and makes sense. The placement of "is" works well with the singular subject "paper and a pencil."
B. "Beside the stereo is a stack of CDs." - This sentence is also grammatically correct and makes sense. "Beside the stereo" serves as a prepositional phrase, and "is" works well with the singular subject "a stack of CDs."
C. "Beside the stereo are a stack of CDs." - This sentence is incorrect. The verb "are" does not agree with the singular subject "a stack."
D. "On the table are some paper as well as a pencil." - This sentence is also incorrect because the verb "are" does not agree with the singular subject "a pencil."
Considering the analysis, the correct sentence is option B: "Beside the stereo is a stack of CDs."
