Answer 1

Complete Question:

Do as directed:

1. She is one of the tallest girls in the class. (Change to a positive degree)

2. I always thought that Mathematics were an easy subject. (Spot the error and rewrite the correct sentence)​

Answer:

The correct answers are:

1. "She is a tall girl in the class." (Sentence written in a positive degree)

2. The error in the sentence is "were"(incorrect verb used)

The rectified sentence would be "I always thought that Mathematics was an easy subject."

Explanation:

• 1. The basic and unmatched form of the adverb and adjective in English grammar indicates the positive degree or the root/ base form, in contrast to the superlative and comparative degrees.

• The given superlative degree is "tallest", the comparative degree is "taller" and the base or positive degree is "tall"

Therefore, the correct sentence is-

She is a tall girl in the class.

• 2. A singular subject and a plural subject both necessitate the use of singular verbs. It's easy to forget which words need to agree when there is a lot of text between the subject and the verb.

• Asking who or what is "doing" the action of the verb is frequently helpful when determining the subject.
• In sentences like "There is a pie on the table" and "There are forks in the drawer," the word 'pie' and 'forks' serve as the grammatical subject- singular and plural respectively.
• As per subject-verb agreement rules, a singular subject fits well with a singular verb and a plural subject needs a plural verb.
• Since "mathematics" refers to a single subject, the 'be' verb would be 'was', instead of 'were'.
