TEAS 7 Language TEAS Language Exam 3 Which of the following sentences correct...

Which of the following sentences correctly uses subject-verb agreement?

A. Statistics is an interesting subject. However, statistics is often misleading.

B. Statistics are an interesting subject. However, statistics are often misleading

C. Statistics is an interesting subject. However, statistics are often misleading

D. Statistics are an interesting subject. However, statistics is often misleading

Answer Explanation:

"Statistics is an interesting subject. However, statistics is often misleading."

In this sentence, both the subject "Statistics" and the verb "is" are in agreement, as they are both singular. The subject-verb agreement rule states that singular subjects should be paired with singular verbs, and plural subjects should be paired with plural verbs. "Statistics" is a singular noun, so it should be paired with the singular verb "is." The other choices have subject-verb agreement errors because they mix singular and plural forms incorrectly.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is A.

    D. The runaway truck which had been parked on a steep hill swerved and teetered before jumping a curb, and slamming into a tree.

    Answer Explanation

    Having commas that separate the additional information “which had been parked on a steep hill” is the most correct use of the punctuation because it shows that the sentence can do without that piece of information. The additional information is only used to add more details but can still be excluded and that is why it is enclosed in commas.

    C. A carpenter must use certain tools, hammers, saws, chisels, to finish a job.

    D. A carpenter must use certain tools-hammers, saws, chisels to finish a job.

    Answer Explanation

    In Option A, the em dash is used to set off the list of tools (hammers, saws, chisels) from the main part of the sentence. The em dash indicates a stronger break than a comma and helps to provide clarity and emphasis on the list of tools the carpenter must use. The sentence is correctly punctuated, and the tools are appropriately separated by the em dash.
