Answer:
The correct verb to be used - "Was"
The same game was exciting.
Explanation:
- The question is based on a grammar rule- subject-verb agreement.
- Subject-verb agreement is the grammatical rule that deals with the verb or verbs in a sentence that must match with the number, person, and gender of the subject.
- A verb requires to match the number and sometimes the person.
- For example, the singular subject 'This' and the plural subject 'they' use different versions of the same verb:- “This goes .. ” and “they go”
- Subject-verb agreement, also called “subject-verb concord,” refers to matching the subject and verb of a sentence depending on tense, aspect, and mood.
- Only the verb changes based on whether it’s first, second, or third person. That means most English subject-verb agreement is about quantity: if the subject is singular, the verb must be singular; if the subject is plural, the verb must be plural.
- Proper English grammar requires agreement between subjects and verbs i.e. the subject must align with the main verb of that same sentence.
- Singular subjects must take singular verbs, and plural subjects must take plural verbs.
- Examining the given sentence, we can find the subject- "The game" is singular in number. (And we know that a singular subject of a sentence or clause requires a singular verb.)
Therefore, the most appropriate verb for the subject would be "was"
i.e. The same game was exciting.
