Which sentence uses a verb that agrees with its subject? A. The bird behind those bushes appear to be a blue jay. B. The cellular phones inside that display case is also able to take digital photos. C. The storm drains on Main Street were flooded. D. Julia, like her twin brother Jason, swim very well. d

OpenStudy (nerdgirl):

It's C. Can you see why?

OpenStudy (kitten_is_back):

:P nope

OpenStudy (nerdgirl):

Option A is in present tense, but 'appear' should be 'appears', or it won't make sense. Option B is also in present tense, but instead of saying 'is', it needs to say 'are'. Option D is more of a comparative sentence. It's saying that Julia, like her brother Jason, swim very well. It SHOULD say 'swims' instead of 'swim.' Does that make more sense?

yes
