Mark the answer true if the subject and verb agree in number. Mark the answer false if the subject and verb do not agree in number: The colors in the painting appears particularly vibrant in this light. True False @aveline

The colors in the painting appears particularly vibrant in this light. Have any idea? Does the sentence sound right?

OpenStudy (18jonea):

false @Aveline

OpenStudy (aveline):

Correct. If we wanted to make the sentence correct, we would replace "appears" with "appear."

Mark the answer true if the subject and verb agree in number. Mark the answer false if the subject and verb do not agree in number: Do her brother play an instrument, too? True False False @Aveline

@Aveline

OpenStudy (aveline):

Do you know what a prepositional phrase is? "Of our animals" is an example of one.

OpenStudy (18jonea):

no but would this be false?

OpenStudy (aveline):

This would be false. The subject of the sentence is "one." This does not agree with the verb "are." The sentence would be correct if we replaced "are" with "is": Not one of our animals is very well­-behaved.
