Bot is right on these questions
The correct answer is D. They are both singular or both plural.
To determine if subjects and verbs agree in terms of number, you should follow these steps:
1. Identify the subject of the sentence - This is the person, thing, or idea that the sentence is about.
2. Determine if the subject is singular or plural - A singular subject refers to one person, thing, or idea, whereas a plural subject refers to multiple persons, things, or ideas.
3. Match the verb to the subject - If the subject is singular, the verb should also be in the singular form. If the subject is plural, the verb should be in the plural form.
For example:
- Singular subject: The cat (singular) purrs (singular verb).
- Plural subject: The cats (plural) purr (plural verb).
Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not accurately describe subject-verb agreement. Choosing the same thing (Option A) and not being separated by interrupted words (Option B) are not necessary conditions for subject-verb agreement. Having the same ending (Option C) is not a consistent rule for subject-verb agreement; it depends on the specific words being used.
