Pretend that you recently turned in a paper for your science class and you have been asked to correct your problems with subject-verb agreement. Rewrite the paragraphs below, correcting any mistakes you find. In the midst of the vast, relatively unpopulated ocean, coral reefs is hotspots of biological diversity. Thousands of species is hosted within their colorful, protective borders. They support many of the fisheries that coastal communities relies upon and sustains local economies by providing billions of dollars of income from tourism.

The vibrant colors that attracts both fish and humans is the result of a symbiotic relationship between invertebrate coral polyps and colorful algae. Nutrients and protection is provided by corals to algae. In return, the algae provides the corals with sugars produced via photosynthesis.

In 1979, incidents in which coral hosts cast out their resident algae began to be reported on an unprecedented scale. This occurrence, known as coral bleaching, leave the coral a bleached white color because of the ejection of the colorful algae. Bleaching events is not necessarily lethal to corals. However, if bleaching occurs over a prolonged period of time, the coral host will eventually dies.

Explanation:

The subject-verb agreement is a grammar rule according to which the subject and verb must agree in number. This means that, if the subject is singular, the verb must be singular as well. If the subject is plural, the verb should be too.

For example, reefs is a plural noun. It needs to be followed by a plural verb, which means that the verb is is incorrect. Here, the plural form are should be used. The principle is similar in the rest of the cases, which I've written in bold letters and underlined. The number of the verb needs to be changed.

the hunger games, written by  suzanne collins, is fiction in the young adult genre, which is not my age group, but i found myself unable to put it down. its combination of nerve-racking tension, thrilling action, and engaging love story kept me up until the wee hours. i was surprised at how completely engrossing the plot was. like  brave new world, this story is set in a future where the government oppresses its people, but the book also borrows ideas from the greek myth of theseus and the minotaur.

divided into 12 districts, ruled by an oppressive government located at the  capitol. katniss everdeen, a 16-year-old girl from district 12, takes her younger sister’s place as one of 24 “tributes” selected every year to participate in the hunger games at the capitol.

while i found this book absolutely enthralling, i was surprised it was aimed at an audience of young adults. it seems extremely intense for anyone younger than 16 or 17. for example, there is a scene where one young tribute is slowly eaten alive by wolf-like creatures all night long, and katniss has to finally throw a weapon at him to end his misery. i found this a little too disturbing when i considered the age of the character.

the intensity of the action was something one would find in a more mature book, but the age of the characters and the simplicity of the prose were aimed at a much younger audience. in addition, this book was written in present tense, which i found annoying, but that’s more of a personal preference than a stylistic fault. it was also edited somewhat poorly, but that rarely distracted from the plot. for example, the author often spoke in sentence fragments to describe how katniss felt, which might have been an attempt to reflect on her thought process, but i found it disorienting to read a lot of really short sentences all together. it would have been better to vary the sentence length on occasion, but the story was still coherently.

overall,  the hunger games  was an excellent, enthralling read that i highly recommend. if it was more clearly marked for older teens, it would have been better, but it was a fantastic book with a wonderfully creative plot.

happy to .

pls mark as brainliest.
