Mathematical analysis of humpback whale sounds provide evidence that animals other than humans use a hierarchical structure of communication.
A. provide evidence that animals other than humans
B. provides evidence that animals other than humans
C. provide evidence that an animal other than humans
D. provides evidence that an animal other than a human
E. provide evidence that animals, like humans,
The original sentence contains a subject-verb agreement issue. The singular noun "analysis" does not agree with the plural verb "provide."
(A) This choice is incorrect as it repeats the original sentence.
(B) CORRECT. This choice correctly uses the singular verb "provides" to agree with the singular noun "analysis."
(C) This choice contains incorrect subject-verb agreement. The singular noun "analysis" does not agree with the plural verb "provide." In addition, the singular noun "animal" does not agree with the plural verb "use."
(D) This choice correctly uses the singular verb "provides" to agree with the singular noun "analysis." However, the singular noun "animal" does not agree with the plural verb "use."
(E) This choice contains incorrect subject-verb agreement. The singular noun "analysis" does not agree with the plural verb "provide." Moreover, the use of the phrase "animals, like humans" sets up a comparison between animals and humans. This nonsensically suggests that humans are not a type of animal. Moreover, the comparison distorts the meaning of the sentence by suggesting that all animals use a hierarchical structure of communication. In contrast, the use of the phrase "animals other than humans" in the original sentence implies that some animals (though not necessarily all animals), in addition to humans, use a hierarchical structure of communication.
A. provide evidence that animals other than humans
