Identify the grammatically correct sentence illustrating proper subject-verb agreement:
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. The team of dedicated teachers meets every Monday to coordinate lesson plans.
- Step 1: In the subject phrase 'the team of dedicated teachers', the grammatical headword is the singular collective noun 'team'. Step 2. The singular collective subject 'team' takes the singular present tense verb 'meets'. Answer: The team of dedicated teachers meets every Monday to coordinate lesson plans. Why not the others: 'Meet', 'are meeting', and 'have met' mistakenly match the plural noun 'teachers' inside the prepositional phrase.
