OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
A bouquet of flowers, which is usually tied with a ribbon, act as a meaningful gift in many cultures around the world.
A. A bouquet of flowers, which is usually tied with a ribbon, act as a meaningful gift in many cultures around the world
Incorrect.
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect. The subject of the sentence is an X of Y subject - A bouquet of flowers. In X of Y subjects, the verb should agree with X. X in this case is A bouquet, which is a singular noun. Thus, the subject of the sentence is singular. The verb act is plural. This creates a Subject Verb Agreement mistake.
What helps you identify this question as a Subject Verb Agreement question as well as identify the mistake is the following Stop Sign:
- an X of Y subject
B. A bouquet of flowers acts as a meaningful gift in many cultures, which is usually tied with a ribbon, around the world
[color=#00a651]Not exactly.
Although this answer choice corrects the original Subject Verb Agreement error by matching the singular verb acts to the singular subject bouquet of flowers, it is illogical. The relative clause which is usually tied with a ribbon is clearly intended to modify the noun phrase bouquet of flowers. However, it follows the noun cultures.
What helps you identify this question as a Relative Clause question as well as identify the mistake is the following Stop Sign:
- who, which, that, whose, whom
C. A bouquet of flowers, which is usually tied with a ribbon, acts as a meaningful gift in many cultures around the world
This answer choice corrects the original Subject Verb Agreement error by matching the singular verb acts to the singular subject bouquet of flowers.
D. Acting as a meaningful gift in many cultures around the world, a bouquet of flowers are usually tied with a ribbon
Not really.
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect and repeats the original Subject Verb Agreement error. The subject of the sentence is an X of Y subject - A bouquet of flowers. In X of Y subjects, the verb should agree with X. X in this case is A bouquet, which is a singular noun. Thus, the subject of the sentence is singular. The verb are is plural. This creates a Subject Verb Agreement mistake.
