Question

Which sentence contains an error in subject-verb agreement? Some of her friends and family members are coming over for dinner. Each volunteer and staff member need to arrive at the scheduled time. July and August are the warmest months of the year. Elke or Carina is going to be the new dance squad captain.

Answer 1

Each volunteer and staff member need to arrive at the scheduled time.

Step-by-step explanation:

The adjective each is used before a singular countable noun and, therefore, the verb should be in singular form, too.

So the sentence should be written as "Each volunteer and staff member needs to arrive at the scheduled time."
