3. Noun/Verb Agreement: Which word in parenthesis correctly completes the sentence?Thirty dollars (is, are) too much to pay for that.

5. Noun/Verb Agreement: Which word in parenthesis correctly completes the sentence?(Doesn't, Don't) the students need to be in their seats by now?

6. Noun/Verb Agreement: Which word in parenthesis correctly completes the sentence?The Prince and the Pauper (was, were) written by Mark Twain. 

Explanation

The correct answer is "was". In this sentence, "The Prince and the Pauper" is a singular subject, so it requires a singular verb. "Was" is the correct past tense form of the verb "to be" for a singular subject.

Submit
7. Noun/Verb Agreement: Which word in parenthesis correctly completes the sentence?Ham and cheese (is, are) dad's favorite sandwich. 

Explanation

The correct answer is "is" because "ham and cheese" is a compound subject, and compound subjects are usually treated as plural unless they are joined by "and" and refer to the same thing. In this case, "ham and cheese" refer to the same thing, so the verb should agree with the singular subject and be "is."
