Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To avoid protracted litigation, the city agreed to settle the case and the traffic light. Every sentence requires a noun and a verb that work together grammatically. Answer D is the correct choice because a second verb is missing from the sentence. The noun is "city" and the first verb is "agreed." But the city cannot agree to settle the traffic light, and another verb is necessary for a grammatically complete relationship between the city and the city's action on the traffic light. The verb might be "repair" or "change." Answer A is not the correct choice because the noun is "driver" and two verbs giving action to the noun are included ("crossed" and "hit"), with the second verb after the conjunction "and." Answer B is not the correct choice because the sentence includes a noun ("truck driver") and a verb ("testified"). Answer C is not the correct choice because it has a noun ("city employee") and a verb ("testified").
