A. There is a good variety of mugs in the cabinet.
B. There are a good variety of mugs in the cabinet.
C. A number of glasses have been broken.
D. The number of broken glasses has increased.
No. Pay attention to plural subjects and verbs, or singular subjects/singular verbs. They must agree.
B is correct. Variety is singular. :)
Yes, C is also incorrect! Number is also singular.
Sorry, James. I missed that one. You were right.
Thanks
You're welcome.
A
I apologize for the confusion. Upon rereading the options, I see that A is incorrect because it says "a good variety of mugs" rather than "a variety of good mugs." The correct sentence would be "There is a variety of good mugs in the cabinet."
