Answer 2

The correct verbs are written below -

a. The price of cars has escalated.

b. The instructor and the student are on leave today.

• In the first sentence, 'have' has been replaced by 'has'. The word 'have' is used in sentence with respect to price, and not for cars.

• In the second sentence, instructor and student are joined by the conjunction 'and'. This means they will be counted as two people and hence 'are' will be used instead of 'is'.
