Answer 6

A. The subject is "several species of aquatic birds" and is plural.
The verb must be "live", so the sentence is not correct.

B. The subject is "Yolanda", and it is singular.
"is" is singular and goes with Yolanda correctly.

C. The subject is "few clouds", a plural subject.
"is" is a singular verb, so it's not correct.

D. "People" is the subject and is plural.
"was" is singular, so it is not correct.

Answer 12

@Blonde_Gangsta
Your own example shows that "people" is plural.
People ***play*** soccer at the park.
"play" in this case is plural.
If it were singular, it would be "plays" as in "He plays soccer."

Answer 13

The correct answer is B.
B. is the only sentence in which the subject and verb agree correctly.

Answer 14
