Question

identify the sentence that demonstrates correct subject-verb agreement.
each of the candidates presents a compelling argument for election.
the data indicates that our hypothesis were correct.
neither the students nor the teacher were prepared for the exam.
the committee of twelve members were divided on the issue.

Explanation:

• For the orange sentence: "Each of the candidates" is a singular subject (each), so the verb "presents" (singular) agrees.
• Blue sentence: "data" is plural (though sometimes treated as singular, here "hypothesis" is singular, but "were" is plural—incorrect).
• Green sentence: "neither...nor" takes the verb agreement from the nearest subject ("teacher" is singular, but "were" is plural—incorrect).
• Red sentence: "committee" is a collective noun (singular), but "were" is plural—incorrect.

So the orange sentence has correct subject - verb agreement.

Answer:

Each of the candidates presents a compelling argument for election.
