The verb that agrees with the subject "All children" in the sentence is "need."
Explanation:
- When the subject is "All children," it refers to a plural noun.
- In English grammar, plural subjects require plural verbs.
- The verb "need" is the correct choice because it agrees with the plural subject "All children."
- Let's examine the options provided:
A: "need"
- This is the correct answer as it agrees with the plural subject "All children."
B: "needs"
- This is incorrect because "needs" is a singular verb form and does not agree with the plural subject "All children."
C: "are needing"

In conclusion, the correct verb choice to fill in the blank is "need," as it agrees with the plural subject "All children."

The correct answer is B: need.
Explanation:
In the given sentence, we need to choose the verb that agrees with the subject "plants." Here's why "need" is the correct choice:
- Subject-Verb Agreement: In English grammar, the verb must agree with its subject in terms of number (singular or plural).
- Plural Subject: The subject "plants" is plural because it refers to more than one plant.
- The verb "need" is used for plural subjects, indicating that plants, as a group, require both water and sunlight.
Here's a breakdown of the options and why they are incorrect:
A: needs - This verb is singular and does not agree with the plural subject "plants." It would be appropriate for a singular subject like "plant" or "it," but not for "plants."
C: needed - This verb is in the past tense and does not convey the present tense requirement of plants needing water and sunlight.
Therefore, the correct verb to use in this sentence is "need" to maintain subject-verb agreement with the plural subject "plants."

The subject businesses and the verb have moved are both plural.

‘Or’ suggests the singular subject; hence ‘is’ is correct.

To determine the correct verb that agrees with the subject in the sentence, "My brother __________ in the army," we need to consider the subject and its corresponding verb form. The subject of the sentence is "my brother," which is a singular noun. Singular nouns require singular verb forms.

A: serving
- This verb form is a gerund, which functions as a noun. It does not agree with the singular subject "my brother."
B: serve
- This verb form is in the base form and does not agree with the singular subject "my brother."
C: serves
- This verb form is in the third-person singular present tense, which agrees with the singular subject "my brother."
Therefore, the correct answer is C: serves.
