Question 2 • Common Core ELA 10 A - Aberdeen
In B, the subject “tents” is plural, so “are” is correct; the phrase “even the leaky one” does not change the subject. In C, with “either…or,” the verb agrees with the nearer subject, “your jacket,” so singular “is” is correct. In D, “Jon Krakauer and Cheryl Strayed” is a plural subject, so “write” is correct. A should use “Are tweezers,” and E should use “Everyone knows.”
