Which sentence has correct subject-verb agreement?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. The group of students is waiting for the bus.
- Step 1: The subject is 'group', which is singular. Step 2. A singular subject takes 'is'. Answer: is waiting. Why not the others: the plural verbs agree with 'students', which is not the subject.
