A subject-verb agreement error
occurs when the number (whether or not something is singular or plural) of the
subject does not “agree” with the number of the verb. For instance, if a subject is singular, the verb
should be singular as well, and this is known as “agreeing.” If the subject is singular, but the verb is
plural, then this is known as a subject-verb agreement error (or subject-verb
disagreement). Below, the agreement
errors have been corrected to the proper number and appear in bold.
"This new technology is for everyone and will revolutionize the lives of millions of ordinary commuters. Cheaper than concrete or tarmac but just as durable, the new cycling paths absorb light and re-emit it when they sense that it is required. They're one hundred percent environmentally-friendly. The inventor, however, is less forthcoming when our conversation turns to how the product actually works. Despite a barrage of questions, the only thing he will admit to is that the key to this techno-wonder is a combination of recycled tires (what else?) and a specially formulated light-emitting powder that charges during the day and glows at night."

SQRW (the S stands for Survey) is a four-step strategy for reading/taking notes from chapters in a textbook. It helps to understand what you read and to prepare a written record of what you learned. To survey means to assess the information available. To survey a chapter, read the title, introduction, headings, and the summary or conclusion. By surveying a chapter, you will quickly learn what the chapter is about. <u>SQRW</u>:
- <em>Q - Question (you need to have questions in your mind as you read); </em>
- <em>R - Read (read the information that follows each heading to find the answer to each question you formed);</em>
- <em>W - Write (write each question and its answer in your notebook).</em>

<span>The correct answer is B. Erin is giving a motivational speech so she will want her delivery to be strong and upbeat, but as she is giving the speech to a large crowd of high school students (who may not be interested) in the gymnasium, there will likely be a lot of noise from the students talking and the sound may not travel well in the hall.</span>
