Choose the correct sentence from the following:a)Rita and me are eatin...
Explanation:
Subject-Verb Agreement:
In this question, we need to choose the correct sentence that demonstrates subject-verb agreement. Subject-verb agreement means that the subject and the verb in a sentence must agree in number. In other words, if the subject is singular, the verb should be singular, and if the subject is plural, the verb should be plural.
Options Analysis:
a) Rita and me are eating pancakes.
- This sentence is incorrect because it uses the pronoun "me" as the subject, which should be the pronoun "I". The correct form should be "Rita and I are eating pancakes", where "Rita and I" is the subject and "are eating" is the plural verb.
b) You, she and I are very irresponsible.
- This sentence is correct as it follows subject-verb agreement. The subject "You, she, and I" is a compound subject, and the plural verb "are" agrees with the plural subject.
c) She advised me to read this book.
- This sentence is correct as it follows subject-verb agreement. The subject "She" is singular, and the singular verb "advised" agrees with the singular subject.
d) Neither of these three girls is intelligent.
- This sentence is incorrect because it uses the singular verb "is" with the plural subject "three girls". The correct form should be "Neither of these three girls are intelligent", where "are" is the plural verb that agrees with the plural subject.
Correct Answer:
The correct sentence is option 'C': She advised me to read this book.
Choose the correct sentence from the following:a)Rita and me are eatin...
- Option A) is incorrect because the sentence has two subjects and 'me' is used as an object. Example: She has told me to read books. Therefore, 'me' should be replaced with 'I' in order to make the sentence correct.
- Option B) is incorrect. If the sentence is about accepting guilt or mistake, the order is First, Second, Third person[Rule 123]. The given sentence is expressing a flaw. So, the arrangement of the pronouns should be 'I', 'you' and 'she'.
- Option C) is grammatically correct.
- Option D) is incorrect. 'Neither' should be replaced with 'none' because the sentence is talking about more than two girls.
