FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Carlos is the only student who __________ lived up to the potential in the yearbook.
Back
a. has
Answer explanation
"has"
The 'who' refers, in this case, to 'the only one,' which is singular.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
The International Club, Choral Society, and Rowing Club __________ to submit a new constitution.
Back
b. needs
Answer explanation
You're right! (But check the Explanation to see if your reasons for making this choice are the same as ours.)
The subject here is 'The International Club,' which is singular. The modifying phrase that comes after 'as well as' modifies the subject but does not compound it as the word 'and' would do.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Most of the milk _____ gone bad. Six gallons of milk _______ still in the refrigerator.
Back
a.has ---- are
Answer explanation
'Most' is not a countable noun here (you can't count 'the milk' in the first sentence), so the verb must be singular. You can count the gallons of milk, though, so the subject in the second sentence is plural.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Four years _______ a long time away from friends and family.
Back
a. is
Answer explanation
The quantity of 'four years' here is meant to be taken as a whole, as one quantity, so the verb should be singular.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Economics of this country ________ to be in disarray.
Back
A. seem
Answer explanation
‘Economics,’ in this case, means any number of aspects of or facts about the country’s financial health, so we need a plural verb. When the word ‘economics’ refers to the course or the discipline, it is singular.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
A large number of voters still ___________ along straight-party lines.
Back
a. vote
Answer explanation
‘Number’ is a collective noun, but the elements within the collective noun, the voters, are acting separately in this case (we hope!), so the verb should be plural: ‘vote.’

FLASHCARD QUESTION
