Answer
A
Nancy and Jim, the original founders of the gardening club, need more volunteers.
B
One pair of gardening shears has been missing from the gardening shed since last year.
C
The club, which will meet on Sundays, require that everyone sign a waiver before joining.
D
The town have generously donated a plot of land for the club to use for at least five years.
E
Community gardening have always been an opportunity to grow nutritious fruits and vegetables.

Explanation

In A, the compound subject “Nancy and Jim” is plural, so it correctly takes “need.” In B, the subject is “pair,” which is singular, so “has been” is correct. The subjects “club,” “town,” and “community gardening” are singular here, so they should take “requires,” “has,” and “has been,” respectively—not the plural verbs used in C, D, and E.
