Which sentence contains a plural verb?
A. Tommy the Clown, leader of the dancers, hopes the high-energy dance style will provide Los Angeles’ South Central youth with a safe alternative to the dangerous gang lifestyle.
B. Krumpers from around the country travel to Los Angeles each year to display their talent and raise money for inner-city youth.
C. Lil’ C or Miss Prissy, solid and recognized krumpers, provides youth with energetic and positive role models.
D. The crowd watches the intense dance battle.
Answer (3)
B
Krumpers - plural -> verb = travel, since it's referring to more than one of them performing that action. Won't be D because the noun 'crowd' is singular even though it refers to multiple persons.
b. Krumpers from around the country travel to Los Angeles each year to display their talent and raise money for inner-city youth.
A plural verb agrees with a plural subject. In B, the subject is Krumpers. The /s/ at the end of Krumpers tells us there is more than one so it is plural. The verb that agrees with Krumpers is travel, so travel must be a plural verb. In A the subject is Tommy - he is singular. In C the subject is Lil' C or Miss Prissy. Since it's one or the other not both, the verb must be singular. In D the subject crowd is also singular because a crowd is one group even though it is made up of many people. Only singular verbs agree with singular subjects so none of these other options have a plural verb.
The sentence that contains a plural verb is option B, which is "Krumpers from around the country travel to Los Angeles each year to display their talent and raise money for inner-city youth." The plural subject "Krumpers" agrees with the plural verb "travel." The other options contain singular verbs or singular subjects.
