OpenStudy (inowalst):

What do you think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C

OpenStudy (girlgoyleh.):

not c

OpenStudy (inowalst):

signs" "products" "events" are plural.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was thinking about A

OpenStudy (inowalst):

Nope. A is wrong.

OpenStudy (girlgoyleh.):

the subject is signs, which is plural. That means the verb must be plural. So it cannot be a,c, or d

OpenStudy (girlgoyleh.):

It wouldnt make sense if you say "the signs is advertising" or "the signs advertises" or "the signs has advertised"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So B

OpenStudy (inowalst):

B is correct.
