Explanation

In A, the plural subject “Books and movies” agrees with “are.” In B, the singular subject “A dystopia” agrees with “is,” and “that” refers to the singular “country,” agreeing with “is horrible.” In D, “Neither my brother nor I” takes the verb matching the nearer subject, “I,” so “was” is correct. In F, the singular subject “The sequel” agrees with “is.” C should use “capture,” and E should use “imagines.”
