Thanks
1. I'd have said b because "they" is plural and "the site" is singular.
(I only looked at #1)
Sra
1. answer is b - it is a subject/verb agreement error because the subject and the verb do not agree?
The sentence just doesn't make any sense.
I think #1 is a pronoun problem. As Sra said, "site" is singular, and since it seems to be the antecedent, the pronoun should be "it" instead of "they."
#2 is also a pronoun error, but it's not an agreement problem either.
#1 is a pronoun/antecedent problem, and #2 is a shift in person problem. [Pronouns come in 3 "persons" -- first person (I, we), 2nd person (you), and 3rd person (he, she, it, they).]
yall still dont got the answers ofnn
To match the correct type of agreement error to the sentences, we need to analyze each sentence and identify the specific agreement error present.
1. Although they seemed inflamed, the site of the previous craniectomy seemed free of defect.
The agreement error in this sentence is a modifier placement error (d). The phrase "of the previous craniectomy" should be placed closer to the noun it modifies, "site," for clearer and more concise wording.
2. Patient was brought to the operating room, induced in general endotracheal anesthesia, and we then placed him in the supine position on the operating room table.
The agreement error in this sentence is a pronoun agreement error (c). The use of the pronoun "we" is unclear because it does not have a clear antecedent, meaning it is not clear who "we" refers to.
So, to answer your question:
1. The correct type of agreement error for the first sentence is (d) a modifier placement error.
2. The correct type of agreement error for the second sentence is (c) a pronoun agreement error.
