The first sentence is wordy -- and you also chose the wrong verb.
The subject of the verb is "sections." The plural verb is "show." The sections show.
You're welcome! I'm glad I could help. In each of these sentences, the verb should agree with the subject of the sentence. Let's break down how to determine the correct answers:
1. To find the correct answer, we need to identify the subject of the sentence. The subject is "Histologic sections of the appendix." Since "sections" is plural, we need a verb that agrees with a plural subject. Therefore, the correct answer is "show."
2. In this sentence, the subject is "total body hypothermia," which is a singular noun. Therefore, we need a verb that agrees with a singular subject. The correct answer is "was."
3. The subject of the sentence is "None of the mass." Even though it is written as "none," it is treated as a singular subject. Therefore, the correct answer is "seems."
Remember, when determining the correct verb form, pay attention to the subject of the sentence and make sure the verb agrees in number (singular or plural) with that subject.
