Which verb best completes the sentence? Either the eggs or the car's exhaust _______ awful. A. smell B. smelling C. smells

OpenStudy (lovelyanna):

@Whitemonsterbunny17 I think A?

OpenStudy (lovelyanna):

@TQKMB

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C

OpenStudy (lovelyanna):

Why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Read the sentence out loud and put each word in the space, which one sounds the best?

OpenStudy (lovelyanna):

A...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Either the eggs or the car's exhaust smell awful. Either the eggs or the car's exhaust smells awful. Too me smells sounds better in the sentence.

OpenStudy (lovelyanna):

Ya, but eggs in the sentence is already plural. Look at this example: The eagle soars. - Singular. The eagles soar. - Plural. Eagle is singular and it uses "soars". Same with the second example.

I still have to go for C. You can go for what ever one you want. Let me know what the correct answer is.

@arabpride, what you said in the other question, I still think it's A. What do you think?

OpenStudy (lovelyanna):

@arabpride can you also give me another little explanation? ^.^

OpenStudy (arabpride):

Well I think you're right @LovelyAnna eagle(S) Soar and eagle Soar(S)

OpenStudy (lovelyanna):

So it's A :D ^.^

OpenStudy (arabpride):

I should think so *^.^*

OpenStudy (lovelyanna):
