Which sentences use correct subject-verb agreement? Select two options. Nancy and Jim, the original founders of the gardening club, need more volunteers. One pair of gardening shears has been missing from the gardening shed since last year. The club, which will meet on Sundays, require that everyone sign a waiver before joining. The town have generously donated a plot of land for the club to use for at least five years. Community gardening have always been an opportunity to grow nutritious fruits and vegetables.

Nancy and Jim, the original founders of the gardening club, need more volunteers. One pair of gardening shears has been missing from the gardening shed since last year.

In the first sentence Nancy and Jim are the subjects of the sentence. The verb is need. Need agrees with the plural subject Nancy and Jim. Sometimes it helps to substitute they for a plural subject when you double check. "They need" is correct.

In the second sentence One is the subject. One is a singular subject. The verb phrase is "has been missing". One has is correct subject verb agreement.

The other sentences are all wrong: club-require, town-have, gardening-have. They should be changed to club-requires, town-has, gardening-has.
