Question 47 • English 2

Read the sentence carefully. Is the notebook and dictionaries still on the bottom shelf where I left them? Which sentence corrects the error in subject-verb agreement?

Answer
A
Are the notebook and dictionaries still on the bottom shelf where I usually leave them?
B
Is the notebook and dictionaries still on the bottom shelf where I usually leaves them?
C
Is the notebook and dictionaries still on the bottom shelf where I usually leave them?
D
Are the notebook and dictionaries still on the bottom shelf where I usually leaves them?

Explanation

“The notebook and dictionaries” is a compound subject, so it takes the plural verb “are,” not “is.” In the clause “where I usually leave them,” the subject is “I,” which takes “leave,” not “leaves.” Therefore, the corrected sentence is “Are the notebook and dictionaries still on the bottom shelf where I usually leave them?”
