Read the paragraph. [1] tia and jackie are partners in science class. [2] they have a big project to complete and are having trouble agreeing on an idea. [3] jackie would prefer to study geology, but tia is more interested in human biology. [4] ultimately, they decides to study fossilization. which sentence has a subject-verb agreement error? sentence 1 sentence 2 sentence 3 sentence 4

The answer is sentence 4: Ultimately, they decides to study fossilization.

Sentence 4 has a subject-verb agreement error. The verb is singular ("Decides") while the subject is plural ("They").

According to the Subject-verb agreement rule, subjects and verbs must agree with one another in number. Thus, a singular subject takes a singular verb while a plural subject takes a plural verb.

In this case, the subject is plural so the verb must also be plural. After correcting the error of subject-verb agreement, sentence 4 should be: "Ultimately, they decided to study fossilization."
