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
"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.
