D is not right because I think everyone is considered as a singular. The verb "know" refers to a plural subject. So from the sentence, it should be "Does everyone in the cast \(\sf knows\) how to play an instrument? "

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

im here still need me or you got it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well what do you think do you agree

OpenStudy (selfconfidence777):

i said i think its c.

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

A is not right we can scratch that off

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just want everybody opinion because they both sound right

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

D is not right

OpenStudy (selfconfidence777):

c.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

between D or C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I still don't see how d is wrong

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

well @Data_LG2 siad it was wrong and they are at 99 so :?

OpenStudy (chycora):

d is wrong because it don't sound right it should nt be Does everyone in the cast know how to play an instrument? it should be something like Does everyone in the class know how to play an instrument? or something like that so therefore C is correct i hoped i helped

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok I guess I will go with C

OpenStudy (chycora):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh this is cool :D it's like a quiz game so we eliminated A & D.. so we are left with B and C i think. and our asker chooses choice C! are you sure? let's see pronoun: those - plural subject: assignments -plural Do they agree? YES! congratulations, you can move on to the next level :D **plays quiz game music background** sorry, i'm too hyper today ;)
