The correct option should be A because "with his sons" is just an additional statement. Kindly check parenthesis in concord.
Please Myschool the correct answer is A. This is due to the parenthesis rule of concord which states that in choosing the appropriate verb, the additional statement will not be considered. The additional statement in the question above is "with his sons" , so only the farmer will be considered when picking the verb. Therefore, the verb is singular which is option A
The correct answer is: **A. grows.**
The sentence is in the present tense, so the verb should also be in the present tense. The verb "grows" agrees with the singular subject "the farmer." The phrase "with his sons" is a prepositional phrase that does not affect the subject-verb agreement.
The verb "grow" is in the infinitive form and does not agree with the subject. The verb "were growing" is in the past progressive tense and does not agree with the present tense of the sentence. The verb "have been growing" is in the present perfect progressive tense and does not agree with the simple present tense of the sentence
it is A.
according to parenthesis concord, with his sons is just an additional statement but the farmer grows
because singular noun goes with a singular verb..
so the singular verb here is "grows"
his children there is an additional information which makes the sentence attract singular verb grows.
Pls change the answer to this question, the answer is A and B is chosen, thank God I knew about it before else, I would have learnt the wrong thing, makes me doubt the accuracy of the answers here. Pls change it, not everyone are familiar with concord.
it is A.
according to parenthesis concord, with his sons is just an additional statement about the farmer grows..
because singular noun goes with a singular verb..
so the singular verb here is "grows"
