The sentence that displays correct subject-verb agreement is: "My collection of stamps is extensive."
The sentence that displays correct subject-verb agreement is: "My collection of stamps is extensive."
To determine the correct subject-verb agreement, we need to make sure that the subject (in this case, "my collection of stamps") agrees with the verb ("is"). In this sentence, the subject is singular (collection) and therefore requires a singular verb form ("is").
Let's analyze the other options:
- "The books at the library is very helpful." This sentence is incorrect because the subject "books" is plural, so it requires a plural verb form ("are") instead of "is."
- "The cattle in the field is huge!" This sentence is incorrect because although "cattle" is a plural noun, it is treated as a singular subject, so the verb should be "are" instead of "is."
- "The island visited by the travelers are warm." This sentence is incorrect because the subject "island" is singular, so it requires a singular verb form ("is") rather than "are."
Remember, when determining subject-verb agreement, ensure that singular subjects are paired with singular verb forms, and plural subjects are paired with plural verb forms.
