Explanation:

The basic rule of subject verb agreement is:      

A singular subject (he, Jake, car) takes a singular verb (is, goes, runs), whereas a plural subject takes a plural verb.

Example:

• The list of items is/are on the desk.

• If you know that list is the subject, then you will choose is for the verb.

Exceptions to the Basic rule:

a. The first person pronoun I takes a plural verb (I go, I skate).

b. The basic form of the verb is used after certain main verbs such as watch, see, hear, let, and make.

For example: He watched PV Sindhu score the wining strike.

The correct verb is always which agree to the subject of the sentence.

Therefore, in the question, verbs will be used which agree with the subject of the sentence.

1. given will be used because the sentence in the past tense. We will use the past tense of give which is given.

2. had gathered will be used because the sentence the writer is talking about the past. The past participle of gather will be used which is had gathered.

3. going will be used since the sentence is in continuous form.

4. had noticed will be used because the sentence the writer is talking about the past. The past participle of gather will be used which is had noticed.

5. standing will be used since the sentence is in continuous form.

6. were will be used because the sentence in the past tense. We will use the past tense of give which is were.

7. go will be used since it is a direct quote.

8. paralysed will be used since it is an adjective used to describe the man.
