Praxis 5001 Practice Exams Practice Question
A teacher writes the following sentence on the board. So listen up class: everybody need to turn in their paper by the end of the day. The sentence contains which two types of errors?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The sentence features subject-verb agreement issues, as "everybody" is a singular noun that should pair with "needs" instead of "need." Additionally, the phrase "their paper" incorrectly uses a plural pronoun with a singular subject, leading to an incorrect pronoun reference.
Option B is incorrect because there is no comma splice or missing conjunction present. Option C does not apply as the sentence is complete, lacking a run-on or punctuation issues. Option D is also wrong since the sentence is not a fragment and does not have a missing pronoun reference.
