Which helping verb agrees with the subject and correctly completes the verb phrase? The buildings __________ been built to withstand heavy winds. A. is B. has C. are D. have

OpenStudy (conqueror):

'buildings' Is that singular or plural ? @bohotness

OpenStudy (bohotness):

pluaral

OpenStudy (conqueror):

Exactly, so it's not A or B, because those are singular.

OpenStudy (conqueror):

Which makes more sense when you put it in the sentence ? 'are' or 'have' ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That leaves you with C and D. This is easy to find the answer, because only one choice makes sense when you plug it into the sentence. :)

OpenStudy (bohotness):

are but i would say have

OpenStudy (conqueror):

You can't connect 'are' with 'been'. So you are correct, it's D.

OpenStudy (conqueror):

'have been' can connect in the sentnece.

OpenStudy (conqueror):

*sentence.
