The word "everyone" is used to refer to every person, indicating that each individual wears a coat in the rainy weather. This implies that the statement applies to all individuals without exception.

The correct answer is "Somebody" because the sentence implies that only one person has been given the responsibility, not multiple people.

The correct answer is "forgets". In this sentence, "nobody" is a singular pronoun, so the verb that follows should agree in number and be in the third person singular form. Therefore, "forgets" is the correct verb form to use.

The correct answer is "practices" because it agrees with the subject "Everyone," which is a singular pronoun. The verb form "practices" is used for third-person singular subjects in the present tense. Therefore, it is the appropriate choice in this sentence to indicate that every member of the successful band practices frequently.

The correct answer is "attends" because when using the conjunction "or" to connect two subjects, the verb should agree with the subject closest to it. In this case, "Jack" is the subject closest to the verb, and since "Jack" is singular, the verb should also be singular. Therefore, the correct form is "attends."
