“was.”

1. We don’t add ‘s’ when we give an

quantifier like several or a few:

With the plural ending -s
Add ‘s’ if you don’t give an exact number:
⍟ hundreds of people
⍟ thousands of years
⍟ millions of dollars.
14 Correct Answer A: Verb agreement with
indefinite pronouns:
Indefinite pronouns are non-specific words
like someone, others, several or none.
Some of these pronouns are always
singular or always plural. But some can
change their number—they can be either
singular or plural, depending on the
context.
It is important to know whether an
indefinite pronoun subject is singular or
plural so that we can make the verb agree.
a) Singular indefinite pronouns
Singular indefinite pronouns include the
compounds of -body, -one and -thing,
along with the words one, another, each,
either, neither and much. A singular verb
is used with these pronouns:
each somebody something Someone
Every everybody everything Everyone
neither Any body Anything Anyone
either Nobody Nothing No one
one

• Everyone sings in the shower.
• Something smells funny.
• One of the keys does not fit the lock.
• Each of the members has the right to
bring a guest.
• Either is fine with me.
15 Correct Answer B: Police (plural noun)
requires have. Drivers requires “who”
instead of “which”.
16 Correct Answer A: Nine kilometers (a
singular time unit) requires singular verb
“is”. Man (countable noun) requires
article “a” and singular verb “is”.
17 Correct Answer D: Lying is suitable as
intransitive verb instead of laying. “On
the bed” is suitable as compare to “in the
bed”.
18 Correct Answer C: (a) The only + One
of the + PLURAL NOUN + THAT/WHO
+ SINGULAR VERB.
"He is one of the persons who bakes
special cakes."
(b) One of the + PLURAL NOUN +
that/who + PLURAL VERB
"He is one of the persons who make
money."
19 Correct Answer A: Neither takes

differentiated from “like”.

verb and will take “their”. Moreover, the
