Question: #2: The term "collective noun" refers to nouns that are regarded as singular units, even though they consist of more than one item or unit, for example: "family." Yet your explanation assigns a the plural verb "are" to what you describe as the collective noun "jury." #4: Data is typically regarded as a singular collective noun, though not always. So either could be correct, depending on context or speaker preference. #7: Two issues: When referring to people, we use the pronoun "who." When referring to things, we use the pronoun "that." Second, I believe the sentence should be punctuated with a period. #8: Answer D also. #9: You stated the verb should agree with "problems." But "problems" is not the subject; it is the object of the prepositional phrase. The subject is "a lot," which being plural requires the plural verb "are." Right answer, mistaken reason. #12: "NO child" #24: Plural yes, but past tense "were" seems the correct choice. #1 and #21: In these contexts, the correct spelling would be "every day." We use two words in referring to events or activities that occur daily. When spelled as one word, we are referring to events or activities that are considered as "normal, ordinary, or routine." For example: "He chose to wear just his everyday suit to the party."

The Relative pronoun THAT refers to Dramatists but not shakespeare. Stop giving nonsense explanations

Hello. I noticed your comment as I was posting my own. Please view mine if you wish, since they may relate to your concerns as well. It seems a part of your disagreement centers on the test's use of the word "that," which is to be used only in referring to objects or things. When referring to people, the proper pronoun would be "who." So here the pronoun "who" refers to the noun "Shakespeare." The phrase "one of the dramatists" is of course a prepositional phrase, and as such can NEVER be regarded as a subject of a sentence. So, to summarize: ++ "Shakespeare" is the subject, which determines the singular verb tense (has); ++ "dramatists" is part of a prepositional phrase, and as such has no role in determining verb tense. . ++ And the sentence should have used the pronoun "who," rather than "that." Please feel free to reply with any additional questions, if I have failed to fully clarify your concerns.

Shakespeare ........ong the great dramtests that HAVE ever lived CQ7.) I challange you the answer given by you is absolutely WRONG.

I noticed your comment today while posting my own. Please allow me to pass along to you some of my thoughts as well. If I understand your comment, you seem to believe that the sentence should read "Shakespeare is one of the greatest dramatists ["who" would be correct here, not "that"] HAVE ever lived," rather than "has ever lived." The rule that applies here, without exception, is that the verb always agrees with the subject, NOT with the prepositional phrase. The subject here is "Shakespeare," which is of course singular. The prepositional phrase "of the greatest dramatists" is to be totally ignored and disregarded in assigning verb tense. Singular subject, singular verb. If I have misunderstood your comment, I apologize. I just thought I'd give us both the benefit of the doubt. c
