Which sentence below demonstrates incorrect subject-verb agreement?
A. They review each applicant based on test scores, school grades, and active participation in the community.
B. The Blackburn Committee decide which student is the most qualified and most deserves the Covington Scholarship.
C. The scholarship not only covers college tuition for four years, but it includes the cost of books as well.
D. There is also a Covington Scholarship available for graduate students as well, but the requirements are different.

Answer: B. The Blackburn Committee decide which student is the most qualified and most deserves the Covington Scholarship.

Explanation: 'decide' is not meant to be in this sentence as it doesn't make any sense. Instead, it would be best to replace the word 'decide' with 'decides'. Since 'The Blackburn Committee' is most likely not singular, you have to use a plural verb. A subject-verb agreement is exactly this, making sure the subject and verb are matching, both singular, both plural, both present, both past, that sort of thing.

Upon the Burning of Our House
by Anne Bradstreet

In silent night when rest I took
For sorrow near I did not look
I wakened was with thund’ring noise
And piteous shrieks of dreadful voice.
That fearful sound of “Fire!” and “Fire!”
Let no man know is my desire.
I, starting up, the light did spy,
And to my God my heart did cry
To strengthen me in my distress
And not to leave me succorless.
Then, coming out, beheld a space
The flame consume my dwelling place.
And when I could no longer look,
I blest His name that gave and took,
That laid my goods now in the dust.
Yea, so it was, and so ‘twas just.
It was His own, it was not mine,
Far be it that I should repine;
He might of all justly bereft
But yet sufficient for us left.
When by the ruins oft I past
My sorrowing eyes aside did cast,
And here and there the places spy
Where oft I sat and long did lie:
Here stood that trunk, and there that chest,
There lay that store I counted best.
My pleasant things in ashes lie,
And them behold no more shall I.
Under thy roof no guest shall sit,
Nor at thy table eat a bit.
No pleasant tale shall e’er be told,
Nor things recounted done of old.
No candle e’er shall shine in thee,
Nor bridegroom’s voice e’er heard shall be.
In silence ever shall thou lie,
Adieu, Adieu, all’s vanity.
Then straight I ‘gin my heart to chide,
And did thy wealth on earth abide?
Didst fix thy hope on mould’ring dust?
The arm of flesh didst make thy trust?
Raise up thy thoughts above the sky
That dunghill mists away may fly.
Thou hast an house on high erect,
Framed by that mighty Architect,
With glory richly furnished,
Stands permanent though this be fled.
It’s purchaséd and paid for too
By Him who hath enough to do.
A price so vast as is unknown
Yet by His gift is made thine own;
There’s wealth enough, I need no more,
Farewell, my pelf, farewell, my store.
The world no longer let me love,
My hope and treasure lies above.

Write your favorite adage from Ben Franklin's Poor Richard's Almanac, pp. 33-34. Include a citation for the adage like this:
Ben Franklin's adage about bedtimes is as follows:

"Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise" (Holdren 33).

Explain what it means in a compound sentence, and tell why it is your favorite adage in a complex sentence. This assignment should have 3 sentences at least.

The expectation is this:

1) Write the adage - it is preferred that you choose a different one than the first one. If you choose the "Early to bed..." then you may be lacking in industry.

2) 2nd sentence should be COMPOUND.

3) 3rd sentence should be COMPLEX.

If you change the order, be sure to label your sentence as complex or compound. It is fine if you write more than 3 sentences; however, label the sentences you want me to grade as compound or complex.

What is an example of bias within the reading? The writer doesn’t interview any scientific or legal experts to determine if the laws will succeed. The writer uses the comment section of a single newspaper article to represent overall public opinion. The people who commented in the newspaper did not use their real names. The reading references a publication called "CheckYourPrivilege" that sounds like it isn’t real.

Built in Italy, the Trieste was bought by the U.S. Navy in 1958. The following
year, the freighter Santa Maria transported it west from California to Guam. The
USS Wandank then towed it a further 250 miles to a site above the deepest part
of all the world's seas: the mysterious Challenger Deep. This great gash in the
earth's surface, deeper than Mount Everest is high, lies in the Mariana Trench on
the floor of the Pacific Ocean.
Here, in rough seas, Jacques Piccard and Lieutenant Don Walsh of the
U.S. Navy undertook one of the most nerve-rattling journeys ever made. On the
morning of January 23, 1960, the two men climbed through the hatch and sealed
themselves into their steel bubble. At precisely 8:23 a.m., they let seawater into
the air tanks above them and began a 288-minute descent, down, down to

They crept along towards a point in the expanse of shade just at hand at which a feeble light was beginning to assert its presence, a spot where, by day, a fitful white streak of steam at intervals upon the dark green background denoted intermittent moments of contact between their secluded world and modern life. Modern life stretched out its steam feeler to this point three or four times a day, touched the native existences, and quickly withdrew its feeler again, as if what it touched had been uncongenial.
They reached the feeble light, which came from the smoky lamp of a little railway station; a poor enough terrestrial star, yet in one sense of more importance to Talbothays Dairy and mankind than the celestial ones to which it stood in such humiliating contrast. The cans of new milk were unladen in the rain, Tess getting a little shelter from a neighbouring holly tree.
Then there was the hissing of a train, which drew up almost silently upon the wet rails, and the milk was rapidly swung can by can into the truck. . . .

Read the following essay, which lacks a conclusion:

Most people are very bad at understanding probability, which is the chance of something happening, or of one event being related to another. That’s why so many of us are more scared of flying than of driving or think vaccines cause autism. When “the odds” involve many possibilities, our hunches about how the world is supposed to work are generally wrong.

If you’ve taken a statistics class, your teacher has probably proved this to you with The Birthday Problem. If you are in a class of twenty-five people, what do you think the chances are that two of them have the same birthday? Most of us would guess it there’s a really small probability, but actually, there’s a greater than 50:50 chance. We think the odds are low because on our own, we rarely meet someone with our birthday. We don’t consider that each of twenty-five people all checking with each of the other twenty-four people makes the coincidence of at least one shared birthday many times more likely.



Which of the options below is the most effective conclusion to the essay?


The point is, most people don’t understand that probability isn’t just what happens to you but what happens to everyone. The Birthday Problem proves that few people understand the odds. In conclusion, think about that the next time you buy a lottery ticket.


In one of the Star Wars movies, Han Solo snaps, “Never tell me the odds!” This line is usually thought to mean that you shouldn’t give up even if it seems your chances are small. But maybe it only goes to show that Commander Solo should have taken more math classes.


Let’s do the math. If there are twenty-four people in the room with you, you have twenty-four chances to find someone who shares your birthday. Not likely. But if everyone else checks dates with the other twenty-four people, that is three hundred chances for a match! Pretty likely.


Statistics are often used to convince people that something that feels right or matches their instincts is true. But as the Birthday Problem shows, the probability of something happening is frequently not what we imagine it to be. Events and coincidences are often much more likely to occur than we expect.
