B. Either Jim or I am going to the convention.
C. Neither Carol nor her children is coming to the reunion.
D. There is too many people to fit into this small room.
Answers:
the answer is B. here're my short explanations:
A. sound is the singular subject. are drowning is the plural verb. correction: sound/is drowning OR sounds/are drowning.
B. Jim and I are singular subjects (the word "or" makes them singular). am going is the singular verb. correct.
C. Carol is the singular subject and children is the plural subject. is coming is the singular verb. rule: subject-verb agreement should follow the subject nearer the verb. correction: carol nor children are coming.
D. is is the singular verb. people is the plural subject. correction: people/are
hope these help, including my explanations :D
the answer is B.
in A, sound is the subject. so the verb must be "is"
in C, the verb should be "are", bec both carol and her children are not coming
in D, people is the subject...so the verb shouldve been "are"..."there are too many..."
B.
D
C= neither {s] is [v] both singular
I'm pretty sure that B is correct.
