Question 1 • 26-27 - C - RUSD American Lit

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

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.”
