c. These treatments consisited of balance exeercises, strength practice, and helping with coordination.

Answer: 'c'

('b') run on sentence
Thanks

Right about c.

B. is wrong, but it is not a run-on sentence.

I have been using this site as a grammar reference source and I am finding a fair number of errors from both Ms. Sue and Writeacher. I am using this 'Agreement' question as an example.

I selected 'C' as the answer on my test but it was marked wrong. The correct answer is 'B'.

So, I am uncertain whether the answers from Ms. Sue and Writeacher are in fact correct so I end up using another grammar and punctuation website(s) to verify the correct answer.

I would therefore kindly ask Ms. Sue and Writeacher what are your credentials (whereby you are answering the questions posted on this website)?

Actually, the correct answer is 'a'.

The sentence "Improving balance and coordination of the lower extremities, I gave him some exercises" lacks subject-verb agreement. The subject of the sentence is "I," which is singular, but the verb "gave" is plural. It should be "Improving balance and coordination of the lower extremities, I gave him some exercises."

To determine which sentence does not have an agreement error, we need to analyze the subject-verb agreement in each sentence.

a. "Improving balance and coordination of the lower extremities, I gave him some exercises." - This sentence has a subject-verb agreement error. The subject "balance and coordination" is plural, but the verb "gave" is singular. To correct this, we could say: "Improving balance and coordination of the lower extremities, I gave him some exercises."

b. "These treatments consisted of balance and coordination exercises to improve balance and coordination of the lower extremities." - This sentence does not have an agreement error. The subject "treatments" is plural, and the verb "consisted" agrees with it. The use of "balance and coordination exercises" is also consistent.

c. "These treatments consisted of balance exercises, strength practice, and helping with coordination." - This sentence has an agreement error. The subject "treatments" is plural, but the verb "helping" is singular. To correct this, we could say: "These treatments consisted of balance exercises, strength practice, and help with coordination."

Therefore, the sentence that does NOT have an agreement error is 'b.' It maintains subject-verb agreement and does not contain any other agreement errors.
