Question

Which sentence is written correctly?

A. This assignment will not effect your grade much.

B. The box of dog treats are almost empty.

C. Him and his brother are always arguing.

D. I think I am going to lie down on the couch.

I think the answer is either B or D

Answer 1

So the correct answer is D so congrats on narrowing it d own!

A is not correct as it uses effect when it means affect.

B is incorrect because the subject of the sentence is the box. To have subject verb agreement, you would say "the box is" not "the box are." It is tempting to see treats and see it is plural and think the treats are ..... but the treats aren't the subject of the sentence! They are the object of the preposition.

C. Him is an objective pronoun so it can not serve as a subject of a sentence

D. This correct! You have to lay something.... like lay a book, lay a shirt, whereas the subject itself lies on its own.

Answer 2

It is D. B is incorrect because "box" is the subject, and you wouldn't say, "The box are empty."
