Again, I think you have the right answer. I can't really explain how, except the verb goes along and makes sense with the subject.

mysticfury · Answer

wait i already did that question .. this one was A? In which sentence does the verb agree with the subject?	
 
 A.

 B.

 C.

anonymous · Answer

I believe this one is incorrect. You see, the verb does blend in well with the subject on this one. It's not A. Try to repeat the sentance in your head and see if it sounds right.

anonymous · Answer

Doesn't blend in well*

mysticfury · Answer

well some of them dont sound right to me but i chose it because my book said the verb agrees with the word closest to it, so if the word is plural then the verb is plural and vice versa for singular

mysticfury · Answer

so C is what im thinking then

anonymous · Answer

Yeah, same here. It makes most sense to me. But, if that's wrong, I'd go with A next as it makes sense more than B.
