Rewrite the paragraph so that all subjects and verbs agree. The PTA agree to fund a fall field trip. The seventh-grade class vote on the destination. Some votes for the zoo, others vote for the museum. After the vote, the student council announces that the zoo is the winner.

The PTA agrees to fund a fall field trip. The seventh-grade class votes on the destination. Some vote for the zoo, others vote for the museum. After the vote, the student council announces that the zoo is the winner.
To ensure subject-verb agreement in the paragraph, we need to make sure that the subjects (PTA, seventh-grade class, votes, student council) agree with their respective verbs (agree, vote, vote, announce).
Here is the revised paragraph:
The PTA agrees to fund a fall field trip. The seventh-grade class votes on the destination. Some vote for the zoo, others vote for the museum. After the vote, the student council announces that the zoo is the winner.
Explanation:
- In the first sentence, we change "agree" to "agrees" to match the singular subject "PTA".
- In the second sentence, we change "vote" to "votes" to match the singular subject "seventh-grade class".
- In the third sentence, we change "votes" to "vote" to match the plural subject "some".
- In the fourth sentence, we leave "vote" as it is to match the plural subject "others".
- Lastly, we change "announce" to "announces" to match the singular subject "student council".
