1. The police are prepared in case there is a riot.

2. The poor are helped by government programs.

3. Sensitivity to other people's feelings makes Giorgio a kind person.

4. The news about the long-range effects of air pollution on the development of children's lungs is disturbing.

Explanation:

In the given sentences, the main thing to remember that will help us spot the error or chose the correct answer is to see the subject-verb agreement. This means that the number of the subject/noun is in sync or in agreement with the verb used with it.

The correct answers are as follows-

1. The police are prepared in case there is a riot.

Here, the noun "police" refers to the whole police as a group. So, it will take the plural verb form "are".

2. The poor are helped by government programs.

Here, the noun "poor" refers to the general population who are poor. So, the verb used will be "are".

3. Sensitivity to other people's feelings makes Giorgio a kind person.

Here, the subject is Giorgio, a singular noun. Thus, we will use the simple present form of the verb in the singular form "makes".

4. The news about the long-range effects of air pollution on the development of children's lungs is disturbing.

Here, the noun is "news" which is singular. So, the verb or helping verb "is" is used.

Read the following poem carefully, and then answer the questions that follow. sonnet 73 by william shakespeare that time of year thou mayst in me behold when yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang upon those boughs which shake against the cold, bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang. in me thou seest the twilight of such day as after sunset fadeth in the west, which by and by black night doth take away, death's second self, that seals up all in rest. in me thou see'st the glowing of such fire that on the ashes of his youth doth lie, as the death-bed whereon it must expire consumed with that which it was nourish'd by. this thou perceivest, which makes thy love more strong, to love that well which thou must leave ere long. comprehension what seasonal images do you see in this poem? how do these images contribute to the poem's tone of loss and sadness?
