Below Is A Student2018s Draft Of An Introduction For An Article About Diversity In The Philippines. If A Sentence Observes Proper Subject-Verb Agreeme

Below is a student's draft of an introduction for an article about diversity in the Philippines. If a sentence observes proper subject-verb agreement, write C. If it does not, rewrite the sentence. (5) For this reason, tourism experts, along with the Department of Tourism believes that "It‟s more fun in the Philippines!"

Answer:

(5) For this reason, tourism experts, along with the Department of Tourism believes that "It‟s more fun in the Philippines!"

This sentence does not observe the proper subject-verb agreement.  

In this sentence, the subject is plural - tourism experts while the Department of Tourism is just being added, but the main subject of the sentence is tourism experts and the verb used - believes is in s form which is a singular form.  

The correct sentence is "For this reason, tourism experts, along with the Department of Tourism believe that "It‟s more fun in the Philippines!"  

Explanation:

Subject-verb agreement rule: Auxiliary verb (be verbs) (is, are, am)

          If the subject is singular, the verb to be used should also be singular in form.  

Example: The man in uniform is dancing gracefully. (man - singular / is - singular)

               The policemen are wearing their official uniforms.  (policemen - plural / are - plural)

Subject-verb agreement rule: regular verb (are those in s-form when used as a singular form and without s when used as a plural  

               form)  (look - looks)

Example: The lady looks great in her yellow Sunday dress. (lady - singular / looks - singular)

               The ladies look gorgeous with their curly blonde hair. (ladies - plural / look - plural)

Code 7.2.1.2.18.
