Text for question 56


At around 6:30 p.m., I decide I’m not going to sleep at the hospital tonight. I need to shower and eat real food. I call my best friend, Yara, and tell her I’m on my way to her house. Everything in Gaza is within walking distance, but I’m absolutely exhausted. I realize with dread that, if I’m not mistaken, I’ve left my wallet in mama’s bag, and I don’t have any money at all. So I do something embarrassing, and ask a taxi driver if he can drive me to Yara’s for free. He agrees on one condition: ‘When I get killed’, he says, ‘post a nice picture of me online, and ask people to pray for me.’

Everyone in Gaza knows that they’ll eventually die, and that it’s only a matter of time. I smile at the taxi driver and assent.

Subject-verb agreement is one of the fundamental principles of English grammar and requires the verb form to correspond correctly to the subject in number and person. Errors in verbal agreement frequently occur when learners confuse singular and plural subjects or when collective and uncountable nouns are involved. In academic and professional communication, accurate agreement contributes to clarity and grammatical precision. Read the sentences below carefully.


I.The results of the experiment was discussed during the scientific conference yesterday.

II.The professor and the assistant are preparing the material for the final presentation.

III.The information provided by the researchers were considered highly relevant by the committee.

IV.The new technologies developed by the company have improved industrial productivity.

V.The manager of the international projects organize the weekly administrative meetings.


Based on the sentences above, analyze the following statements. T (True) or F (False).


(__)Sentences I, III, and V contain errors of subject-verb agreement.

(__)Sentence II presents correct subject-verb agreement because the compound subject requires a plural verb.

(__)In sentence III, the verb should be replaced by was considered because information is an uncountable singular noun.

(__)Sentence IV contains an error because the plural subject technologies should be followed by the verb has improved.


Choose the correct alternative considering that:


T = True

F = False

B

C

T − T − T − F


D

F − T − F − T

Consider paragraphs 06 and 07 of the text:


Poland’s reading habits have been in steady decline for years. A 2024 survey by the National Library of Poland found that only 41 percent of respondents had read at least one book in the past year. According to Tomasz Makowski, director of the National Library, the legacy of war has shaped these numbers. During World War II, Poland lost 70 percent of its libraries.

“We had several generations that did not see their parents or grandparents in front of a wall of books,” Makowski says. “Reading is [also] not something associated with adulthood, but with schools, teachers, librarians, and usually mothers reading to children.”

A

Present Perfect Continuous Affirmative, Present Simple Affirmative, Past Perfect Simple Affirmative, Past Simple Affirmative.


B

Present Perfect Simple Affirmative, Past Simple Affirmative, Past Perfect Continuous Affirmative, Past Simple Negative.

A dialogue has “She teaches on Mondays, but she is teaching an extra class this week.” Which interpretation of present forms is CORRECT?


A

Present continuous marks permanent facts, while present simple marks actions in progress, which makes teaches describe a current action and is teaching describe a permanent schedule.


B

Present simple is used for actions happening at the moment of speaking, while present continuous expresses habits, which makes teaches refer to what happens now and is teaching refer to routine.


C

Both forms are interchangeable in classroom English, and the difference is mainly stylistic, so teachers can treat teaches and is teaching as equivalent in meaning.


D

Present simple typically expresses routine or repeated actions, while present continuous highlights a temporary or currently developing situation, matching Mondays as routine and this week as temporary.


E

Present continuous is preferred for teaching verbs, so is teaching fits routine and teaches fits emphasis, because continuous carries the neutral form in modern textbooks.
