Question

In which sentence does the verb agree with the subject?

a. The news about the kittens fill my heart with joy.
b. Mumps were once a common disease throughout the world.
c. Forensics, the use of science in criminal investigation, is featured in many popular TV shows.

Answer 1

The correct answer is C, because in the first two examples, 'the news' and 'mumps' have to take a verb in singular form, not plural. And C is correct because 'forensics' is singular, therefore the verb has to be singular as well, 'is'.
