LMV:   SOLD       




What you need to know in this section is related to the agreement between the subject and the verb (term: subject-verb agreement). All sentences in English must have a verb and a subject. If the subject is singular, the verb must be singular; if the subject is plural, the verb must be plural. Example questions in the TOEFL test:

Every human typically has twenty-three pairs of chromosomes in most cells.

             A B C D

In Indonesian: Every human being normally has twenty-three pairs of chromosomes in most cells.

Question analysis

The answer you should choose is B. Have should be has.

The subject of the sentence every human which is singular requires a verb which is singular. Because have is a plural verb, have must be changed to has (singular of have).

Correct sentence

Every human typically has twenty-three pairs of chromosomes in most cells.
