Q: Choose the correct sentence: (2023)
Solution:
When subjects are joined by 'or', the verb agrees with the nearest subject, which is 'students' (plural), so 'are' is correct.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Identify the subjects in the sentence. Look for words connected by 'or'.
Step 2: Determine which subject is closest to the verb. This is important for subject-verb agreement.
Step 3: Check if the nearest subject is singular or plural. In this case, 'students' is plural.
Step 4: Choose the verb form that matches the nearest subject. Since 'students' is plural, use 'are'.
Step 5: Confirm that the sentence is correct with the chosen verb.
