w is. The subject is arrest, not charges or variety. Arrest is singular, so you need the singular verb is.
x were. Add one movie director to one agent and what do you get? A big fat check, that’s what . . .
and a plural subject that takes the plural verb were.
y include. The subject is offers, which matches the plural verb include. Everything else is
camouflage.
A waddle. The subjects in this sentence appear at the end of the sentence. David and Kristin =
plural, so pair them with the plural verb waddle.
B has. Pay no attention to series, which is a distraction. The real subject is producer, which needs
the singular verb has.
C is. The little word or tells you to take the subjects one at a time, thus requiring the singular
verb is.
D Is. The subject is hope, which takes the singular verb is.
E broadcasts. The subject is Network. Don’t be distracted by the interrupter but not its partner stations.
Network needs the singular verb broadcasts.
F are. You can count dancers, so are is best.
G has. Without a partner, either is always singular and rates a singular verb, such as has.
H is. The word every may as well be Kryptonite, because it has the power to change seat and
balcony to a singular concept requiring the singular verb is.
I does. The subject is no one, which is singular, so it must be paired with does, a singular verb.
J have. The pronoun most may be singular (if it’s used with a measurable quantity) or plural
(if it’s used with a countable quantity). You can count songs, so the plural have is best.
K has, is. The pronouns ending in -one are always singular, even though they seem to convey a
plural idea at times. They need to be matched with singular verbs.
L is. The closest subject is Lola, so the singular verb is wins the prize, the only prize likely to be
associated with Lola’s musical.
M have. The pronoun any may be either singular or plural, depending upon the quantity to which
it refers. Reviews may be counted (and you can be sure that Lola’s investors will count them
extremely carefully), so any takes the plural verb have in this sentence.
N Has. This sentence can be decided by distance. The sentence has two subjects, director and musicians.
The verb in this sentence has two parts, has and agreed. The subject director is closer to
the part of the verb that changes (the has or the have); agreed is the same for both singular and
plural subjects. The changeable part of the verb is the one that governs the singular/plural issue.
Because that part of the verb is near the singular subject director, the singular has is correct.
O agrees. The singular verb agrees matches the singular subject everyone.
P are. The pronoun most can be either singular or plural. In this sentence, members can be
counted (and it won’t take too long, either, once the reviews are in), so the plura
