Question

Which sentence does not have an error in subject and verb agreement?

A.
Glossy green leaves and brilliant sunlight has created a beautiful scene.

B.
The night air, soft and cool, were blowing in through the car window.

C.
Isn't vitamins and minerals equally present in all foods?

D.
A grapefruit half is waiting for me on the breakfast table.

Answer 1

A.) is incorrect because 'leaves' and 'sunlight' should be connected with a plural verb ~ "have"


B.) is incorrect as well the subject is singular: air meaning that the verb needs to be singular as well ~ "was"


C.) is also incorrect because we have two subjects: 'vitamins' and 'minerals' making this plural form, we would need a plural verb for this as well ~ "Aren't"


D.) is correct because the subject in this case would be 'half' -which is singular - (not 'grapefruit'), and it is matched with the singular verb 'is'
