Well done, you've picked the correct sentence! Now, if only we could convince all those zombies in the corporate world to start planting trees instead of eating brains, we might have a chance at saving the planet! Keep up the good work!

The correct sentence is A. Large corporations and small businesses today believe that "going green" is of paramount importance.

The correct sentence is A. "Large corporations and small businesses today believe that 'going green' is of paramount importance."

To identify the correct sentence, we need to look at subject-verb agreement. In this case, we have two subjects joined by the coordinating conjunction "and" - "large corporations" and "small businesses." Since both subjects are plural, the corresponding verb should also be plural. Therefore, the correct verb form is "believe," as used in sentence A.

Sentence B is incorrect because it uses the singular verb form "believes" instead of the plural form "believe" to match the plural subjects.

Sentence C is incorrect because it uses the plural form "are" to match the singular noun "going green." The correct form should be the singular "is."

Sentence D is incorrect because it uses the singular verb form "believes" instead of the plural form "believe" to match the plural subjects. Additionally, it uses the plural form "are" to match the singular noun "going green."
