I will medal, I will fan too if you explain. Which sentence uses a verb that agrees with its subject? A. The painter of those large wall murals are creative and energetic. B. The skirt with a pattern of wavy stripes are Kayla's preference. C. Several neighbors in our community are planning to participate. D. The bags with the bows on the side contains party favors.

I think its either C or D.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well now I think its C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, I would say C. like you said, you can eliminate A and B because they don't sound right. Try reading D out loud and see how it sounds.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright, let's see. You're right, A and B are incorrect. Painter is singular and the verb doesn't agree, Skirt is singular and the verb doesn't agree again. D is incorrect because contains would be used for a singular noun.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The problem with D is the word "contains"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes I agree with both of you thanks!
