Answer 1

The large companies in our area A. need a cheap source of labour.

The basic rule formula for subject verb agreement is:

Singular subject= singular verb

• Example: The bird sings a song.

(bird=singular)

• Plural subject= plural verb
• Example: The birds sing a song.

(birds =plural)

• Similarly, here the subject is 'companies', which is the plural form of 'company'.
• Hence the applicable formula is:
• Plural subject= plural verb

And so the correct answer is:

The large companies in our area A. need a cheap source of labour.
