Question

1. revise the following sentence to ensure subject-verb agreement and maintain the intended meaning.

our study group meet at the coffee shop every wednesday at 6:00 p.m.
○ our study group met at the coffee shop every wednesday at 6:00 p.m.
○ our study group meets at the coffee shop every wednesday at 6:00 p.m.
○ our study group will meet at the coffee shop every wednesday at 6:00 p.m.
○ the group meet at the coffee shop every wednesday at 6:00 p.m.

Explanation:

To ensure subject - verb agreement, we analyze the subject "our study group" which is a singular collective noun. The adverb "every Wednesday" indicates a habitual action, so we use the simple present tense. The verb should be in the singular form.

• The first option uses "met" (past tense), which changes the tense and doesn't fix the agreement.
• The second option "meets" is the correct singular form of the verb for the singular subject "our study group" in the simple present tense, and it maintains the habitual meaning.
• The third option uses "will meet" (future tense), which changes the intended habitual meaning.
• The fourth option still has the incorrect verb form "meet" for a singular subject.

Answer:

B. Our study group meets at the coffee shop every Wednesday at 6:00 p.m.
