i meant feet not few for the seal one KDKSJNF sorry y’all but the answer for the seal is “are” !!
Jo's responses are correct for both the practice then the quiz.
5. Paul is one of the people who ___ hiking with us yesterday.
"Paul" is the subject of the sentence and its verb is "is."
But the subject of the subordinate clause is "who" -- referring to "people," apparently.
This part of your directions is off:
"Choose the verb that agrees with the subject of the sentence."
But you were not choosing the verb that agrees with the subject of the sentence, but with the subject of the subordinate clause. You should let your teacher know so the text/test writers can be informed of their error.
