    Answer Explanation

"Its" is the correct form of the possessive pronoun "it" to use with a singular noun, as opposed to "it's," which is a contraction of "it is" and would not be appropriate in this context. "They're" is a contraction of "they are" and would not be appropriate because "class" is singular, not plural.

    Option B is the correct sentence, which reads "The building's height was exceeded by its width." This sentence employs standard English spelling, where "exceeded" is spelled correctly, and the apostrophe in "it's" is incorrect, as it should be "its" without an apostrophe.

  • Q #8: Which of the following sentences demonstrates proper subject-verb agreement?

    A. The boys and girl in our club is in the cafe.

    B. The boy or the girls come to school late.

    C. The boys or the girls sings in the choir.

    D. The boys and girl visits my house.

    Answer Explanation

    Choice A: In this option, the subject "The boys and girl" is a compound subject that includes both "boys" and "girl." The mistake here lies in the verb "is," which is singular. Since the subject is plural due to the presence of "boys," the correct verb should be "are."

    Choice B: This choice correctly follows subject-verb agreement rules. The subject "The boy" is singular, so the verb "come" is appropriately singular. Similarly, for "the girls," which is plural, the verb "come" is used in its plural form.

    Choice C: Here, the subject "The boys" and "the girls" are connected by "or," indicating a singular choice. However, the verb "sings" is in the singular form, which is incorrect for plural subjects. To maintain agreement, the correct verb should be "sing."

    Choice D: In this option, the compound subject "The boys and girl" is again presented. However, the verb "visits" is singular, not in agreement with the plural subject. To ensure proper subject-verb agreement, the verb "visit" should be used.
