Question 10 • Online English 10A

Which sentence uses correct subject-verb agreement?

Answer
A
A good coach teach focus and persistence.
B
The athlete trains for several hours every day.
C
Athletes at all levels can improves with practice.
D
The student handbook explain the contest rules.

Explanation

In choice B, the singular subject “athlete” agrees with the singular verb “trains.” In A and D, the singular subjects “coach” and “handbook” need verbs ending in -s (“teaches” and “explains”). In C, “can” is followed by the base verb “improve,” not “improves.”
