Choose the sentence(s) that demonstrate correct subject-verb agreement:

I. Neither the principal investigator nor the associates was available for comment.
II. A series of workshops on research ethics are scheduled for next month.
III. The majority of the manuscript has been revised.
IV. Each of the participants were given an informed consent form.

Solution

  • In statement I, the verb should agree with the noun nearest to it. Since associates is plural, it should be were, not was. So statement I is incorrect.
  • In statement II, the subject is A series, which is singular. So it should be is scheduled, not are scheduled. Hence statement II is incorrect.
  • In statement III, majority is treated as a singular collective noun here, so has been revised is correct.
  • In statement IV, Each is singular, so it should be was given, not were given.
