Explanation:

Question 27

To determine the correct verb for the noncount noun "fruit", we analyze subject - verb agreement. A noncount noun takes a singular verb.

• Option A: "spoil" is a plural - form verb (used with plural subjects or non - third - person singular subjects), so it's incorrect.
• Option B: "are" is a plural verb (used with plural subjects), so it's incorrect.
• Option C: "weigh" is a plural - form verb (used with plural subjects or non - third - person singular subjects), so it's incorrect.
• Option D: "tastes" is a singular verb (third - person singular), which agrees with the noncount noun "fruit" (treated as singular).

For the count noun "boat" (singular), we need verbs that agree with a singular subject (third - person singular verbs) or verbs that can be used in a context with a singular "boat".

• Option A: "sails" is a third - person singular verb (e.g., "The boat sails on the sea"), so it's correct.
• Option B: "sail" is a plural - form verb (used with plural subjects like "boats"), so it's incorrect.
• Option C: "go" is a plural - form verb (used with plural subjects or non - third - person singular subjects) and doesn't fit well with "boat" in a simple subject - verb agreement context, so it's incorrect.
• Option D: "goes" is a third - person singular verb (e.g., "The boat goes fast"), so it's correct.
• Option E: "is" is a singular verb (e.g., "The boat is blue"), so it's correct.
