Sentence B is grammatically correct because the subject “Neither…nor…” is singular when both nouns are singular. The correct verb form is “is attending.” In sentence A, the subject “Each” is singular, so it should be “was excited,” not “were excited.” Sentence C incorrectly pairs the singular subject “group” with the plural verb “are”; the correct verb should be “is.” Sentence D incorrectly pairs the singular subject “teacher” with the plural verb “were”; the correct verb should be “was.” The PERT writing section emphasizes subject-verb agreement, pronoun use, and clarity in sentence construction. Recognizing these errors is essential for writing coherent college-level essays. Students must pay attention to singular vs. plural forms and the way phrases like “along with” and “neither/nor” affect verb choice. Correct identification ensures mastery of grammar fundamentals, which underpins effective academic communication.
