Read the following excerpt from a student’s analysis of “Harrison Bergeron.” Find the subjects and verbs in each sentence and write them as shown in the first example below. (There are 10 subject/verb combinations total, and you’ll find 9 of them.) Then decide whether each subject is singular or plural.

In Kurt Vonnegut’s story, the main character is not allowed to think. Because his intelligence is far above average, as soon as he begins to have a thought, a buzzer sounds in his head. The sounds of bells, sirens, and other awful noises chase away his thoughts. As a result, his intelligence remains at the level of average people. The conflict begins when George sees his missing son on television. Although his memories quickly escape him, they linger and haunt him nonetheless.
