Question

Which sentence contains a subject and a verb that agree in number?

A. The cities in the center of the county is more agricultural than the larger town I came from.
B. A final checklist of items needed for our various camping expeditions were developed.
C. The group of clueless tourists needs to purchase a map.
D. Regulations drafted by the city council in its most recent session prohibits the use of mobile devices during meetings.

Answer 1

The answer is C). The group of clueless tourists needs to purchase a map.

The subject here is "group", a singular noun, thus our verb also needs to be singular (i.e. "needs"). To check if we have subject-verb agreement, remove the "of clueless tourists" phrase and see if it the sentence would make sense.

"The group needs to purchase a map."

Hope this helps.
