Question

card 12
the band of former child pop stars, perform² at the local café each night at 6 p.m.
option 1: performs
option 2: perform

Explanation:

The subject of the sentence is "the band", which is a singular noun (even though it consists of multiple people). In English grammar, a singular subject takes a singular verb form. So "performs" (singular verb) is correct, while "perform" is plural.

Answer:

Option 1: performs
