OpenStudy (mysticfury):

read each of them out loud and see how they sound, you thought B , so read it "who is the people in the photograph" shouldnt it be who are the people?

OpenStudy (mysticfury):

so id say the answer is c or d since a and b arent correct

OpenStudy (airjordan200):

remember a subject/verb agreement is the subject and verb agreed with a number they need to be singular or plural @danysanchy97

OpenStudy (airjordan200):

I think it's D. The book that explains the plays is on the shelf. The correct answer is letter D because according to English grammar standards singular words should have the singular verb. In this sentence the main verb is “is” which agrees with the singular noun “book.” The other choices in the questions do not follow the grammatical rules in English. For example, in the second choice (d), the world “people” is plural so instead of “is”, the verb should be “are”.

thank you.
