Can you answer these questions for me please? I'm giving 30 points!

What are the subject-verb agreements in these sentences?

"The young men clear the room, sweep the floor, straighten the pictures, trim the lamps, etc."

"He is the best, best, the very and absolute best!"

How would you rewrite these sentences as subject-verb agreements?

"Mexico and Canada is part of North America."

"Wood or stone are a good material for this house."

"A truck or several cars is what we need for this trip."

Write a four-sentence paragraph in which at least two sentences have compound subjects. Make sure that all the sentences have correct subject-verb agreement.

Answer:

1). a). Men(plural subject) - clear, sweep, straighten, trim(plural verbs)

b). He(singular subject) - is(singular verb)

2). a). "Mexico and Canada are parts of North America."

b). "Wood or stone is a good material for this house."

c). "A truck or several cars are what we need for this trip."

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound subjects are defined as the two or more subjects linked with using and, or, nor, etc. The verbs placed with the subjects linked with 'and' would be plural while in case of the subjects being linked with 'or', the verb must agree to its closest noun.

He and his friends meet every week. Neither they nor he goes to the club as they don't like going there. They just go to open places having fresh air and good food where they all can enjoy ourselves and get a break from the monotony of work life. This not only allows them to have a quality time together but also freshens up their mood completely.
