Answer 1

The correct form of the verb for each sentence based on subject-verb agreement is (c) is, are, is: 'Every item on my list is important', 'Are my clothes clean?', and 'Mark is looking for summer jobs.'

Step-by-step explanation:

For the sentences provided, the correct form of the verb to use in each sentence is:

1. Every item on my list is important and necessary.
2. Are my clothes clean?
3. Mark is looking for summer jobs.
