Answer 1

@gk99 this ones harder /:

Answer 2

A or C?

Answer 3

Oops a or d

Answer 4

I have the answer - can you tell me why you think it's A or D? :)

Answer 5

Your reasoning

Answer 6

for A the pies kinda agree with deserts

Answer 7

Okay, think about the subject and verb -->agreement. Singular nouns must go with singular verbs, and plural nouns must go with plural verbs. Do you see which pair meets this criteria?

Answer 8

So C?

Answer 9

Is "does" a singular or plural verb?

Answer 10

singular? this is soo confusing.

Answer 11

If I had to guess D

Answer 12

Let me try to make this easier :) Try replacing "vinegar" with "I" in the sentence. Does that sound good or bad?

Answer 13

Yes :)

Answer 14

Ok, is "oil and vinegar" together plural or singular ?

Answer 15

I can see why this one is harder. Ok, so "Vinegar does not mix well" sounds fine by itself, but when you add "Oil and" to the sentence, it becomes plural. Does is singular (like he does, she does) and do is plural (they do, dogs do)

Answer 16

When you see these kinds of sentences, try inserting pronouns and see which ones sound better (the cheating way, haha) It helps if you get confused

Answer 17

Therefore, C is wrong, as the verb and nouns do not match in form.

Answer 18

So A right? If not D but that one dosent make sense

Answer 19

Maybe it will help if you can explain to me which answer you think is right and why<< ?:)

Answer 20

Try replacing "pie" with She.

Answer 21

it would be "she sound good." Think of a singer for this scenario:)

Answer 22

So D!?! :)

Answer 23

Explain to me why you think it's D haha :)

Answer 24

Larger selection and Teas

Answer 25

Do you understand? I hope it was not too confusing. If you need me to explain why I would be happy to - I want you to understand:-)

Answer 26

What is the verb and the subject?

Answer 27

the answer is D

Answer 28

(leave out the adjectives)

Answer 29

you are confusing me, and I don't get confused easily

Answer 30

@beastieman21 Um well you're not supposed to give out the answers right away that is:) Sorry if I'm confusing to you.

Answer 31

me?

Answer 32

@beastieman21 Perhaps if you understood the concept for what it really is it wouldn't be as confusing.

Answer 33

its okay

Answer 34

?? Maybe you don't get the concept @beastieman21
