Q1. The correct answer is "is."
To determine the correct verb form to use in this sentence, you need to identify the subject. In this case, the subject is "Our teacher." The phrase "along with several others" is a prepositional phrase that adds additional information but does not affect the subject-verb agreement.
Since "Our teacher" is a singular noun, the verb should also be singular. Therefore, the correct answer is "is."
Q2. The correct answer is "has."
To find the correct verb form, you must identify the noun that the verb refers to. In this case, the noun is "the one who." Although "scouts" is plural, the subject of the sentence is the singular phrase "the one who."
Since "the one who" is singular, the verb should also be singular. Therefore, the correct answer is "has."
Q3. The correct answer is "appeals."
In this sentence, the subject is "a new medley of songs." The phrase "that appeals to most audiences" is a relative clause that provides more information about the songs.
Since "a new medley of songs" is a singular noun phrase, the verb should be singular as well. Therefore, the correct answer is "appeals."
Q4. The correct answer is "was."
In this sentence, the subject is "the collection of poems." The phrase "which was not favorably reviewed" provides additional information about the collection.
Since "the collection of poems" is a singular noun phrase, the verb should also be singular. Therefore, the correct answer is "was."
