Select the word or phrase that makes this sentence grammatically correct. Economics ___ my least favorite subject at school.
Correct answer
D
Rationale
The correct answer is D: "is." In this sentence, "Economics" is a singular subject, so it requires a singular verb form. "Is" is the correct singular form of the verb to agree with the singular subject "Economics."
Rationale:
1. Identify the subject of the sentence, which is "Economics."
2. Determine if the subject is singular or plural. In this case, "Economics" is singular.
3. Select the appropriate singular verb form to match the singular subject. "Is" is the correct verb form here.
Summary:
Choice A (been) is incorrect because it is a past participle and does not match the subject-verb agreement.
Choice B (are) is incorrect because it is a plural form and does not agree with the singular subject "Economics."
Choice C (am) is incorrect because it is first-person singular and does not match the subject-verb agreement with "Economics."
