Pretest

Question 4 • English 3

Read the sentences. Horses from the ranches gallops in the nearby fields. The horses often chase rabbits, squirrels, or possum. Which is the best way to fix the subject-verb agreement error in these sentences?

Answer
A
Change “ranches” to “ranch”
B
Change “horses” to “horse”
C
Change “chase” to “chases”
D
Change “gallops” to “gallop”

Explanation

“Horses” is a plural subject, so it needs the plural verb “gallop,” not “gallops.” The second sentence is already correct: the plural subject “horses” agrees with “chase.” Therefore, change “gallops” to “gallop.”
