Question 32 options:
a)
Not far from the studio is an Italian restaurant, a gas station, and a park that has a running path.
b)
Not far from the studio are an Italian restaurant, a gas station, and a park that has a running path.
c)
Not far from the studio are an Italian restaurant, a gas station, and a park that have a running path.
d)
Not far from the studio is an Italian restaurant, a gas station, and a park that have a running path.
c
Yes, that's correct! The verb "is" agrees with the singular noun "studio". Therefore, option A is the correct sentence.
C is incorrect.
A. Is the correct sentence
the correct answer is A
Nice try, but the correct answer is actually option a) "Not far from the studio is an Italian restaurant, a gas station, and a park that has a running path." It seems like the sentence is referring to one collective location that includes all three places, so the verb "is" should be used. Keep up the good work!
To identify the correct sentence, we can analyze the subject-verb agreement in each option.
Option a) "Not far from the studio is an Italian restaurant, a gas station, and a park that has a running path." Here, the subject "an Italian restaurant, a gas station, and a park" is treated as a singular entity, which is incorrect.
Option b) "Not far from the studio are an Italian restaurant, a gas station, and a park that has a running path." Here, the subject "an Italian restaurant, a gas station, and a park" is correctly treated as a plural entity, and the verb "are" agrees with the plural subject.
Option c) "Not far from the studio are an Italian restaurant, a gas station, and a park that have a running path." Similar to option b, option c correctly treats the subject as plural and uses the verb "are" for agreement.
Option d) "Not far from the studio is an Italian restaurant, a gas station, and a park that have a running path." This option incorrectly uses the singular verb "is" with a plural subject "an Italian restaurant, a gas station, and a park."
Based on subject-verb agreement, the correct sentence is option b) "Not far from the studio are an Italian restaurant, a gas station, and a park that has a running path."
