Question

Which verb form correctly completes the sentence? Is the verb singular or plural?

Perhaps animals in the zoo __________ more frequent naps than those in the wild.



A.
takes, singular


B.
take, plural


C.
takes, plural


D.
take, singular

Answer 1

B. Take, plural. This is because the word"animals" is plural and the verb "take" is refering back to the animals.

Answer 2

Perhaps animals in the zoo take (plural) more frequent naps than those in the wild.
When you say "takes" that won't sound right in your ear. So it is B)

Hope this helps
