The sentence that shows correct subject-verb agreement is: The canyons of Arizona are my next vacation destination.
The sentence that shows correct subject-verb agreement is:
"The canyons of Arizona are my next vacation destination."
Explanation:
Subject-verb agreement means that the verb in a sentence should agree in number (singular or plural) with the subject of the sentence.
In this case, the subject is "The canyons of Arizona," which is plural because it refers to multiple canyons. Therefore, the correct verb form is "are," which is the plural form of the verb "to be."
The other options don't show subject-verb agreement:
- "The Grand Canyon in Arizona be my next vacation destination." Here, the verb "be" is not in agreement with the plural subject "The Grand Canyon." It should be "is" instead of "be."
- "The mountains of Colorado is my next vacation destination." In this case, the verb "is" is not in agreement with the plural subject "The mountains." It should be "are" instead of "is."
- "Badlands National Park in South Dakota am my next vacation destination." Here, the verb "am" is not in agreement with the plural subject "Badlands National Park." It should be "is" instead of "am."
