Answer 4

Lets study our options here.
"Neither the children nor the babysitter ____ how the stain got in the carpet, but they ____ it needs to be cleaned before the parents return"

Lets try option A.

Neither the children nor the babysitter KNOWS how the stain got in the carpet, but they KNOWS it needs to be cleaned before the parents return

Lets try option B.

Neither the children nor the babysitter KNOWS how the stain got in the carpet, but they KNOW it needs to be cleaned before the parents return

How about C?

Neither the children nor the babysitter KNOW how the stain got in the carpet, but they KNOWS it needs to be cleaned before the parents return

And option D?

Neither the children nor the babysitter KNOW how the stain got in the carpet, but they KNOW it needs to be cleaned before the parents return


Look at those closely. Which of them seem close to the correct answer to you? @zarkam21 :))

Answer 5

Between D and C

Answer 6

D is a possibility. But C no. Look at how it reads.

Neither the children nor the babysitter KNOW how the stain got in the carpet, but they KNOWS it needs to be cleaned before the parents return

"They knows..... ?"

That is by no means proper.

Answer 7

D?

Answer 8

Well D?

Answer 13

Nope. Try flipping around knows and know in that option.

Answer 14

B

Answer 15

Yes, that is what sounds and seems right to me
