a) The group of students is going on a field trip.
b) The group of students are going on a field trip.
c) The group of students am going on a field trip.
d) The group of students be going on a field trip.
ANSWER: a) The group of students is going on a field trip.
EXPLANATION:
The sentence with correct subject-verb agreement is:
a) The group of students is going on a field trip.
In this sentence, the subject "group" is singular, and the verb "is going" agrees with it in number. "Is" is the correct form of the verb for a singular subject.
Option b, "The group of students are going on a field trip," uses the plural verb "are" with a singular subject, which is incorrect.
Option c, "The group of students am going on a field trip," uses the incorrect form of the verb "am" with a singular subject.
Option d, "The group of students be going on a field trip," uses the incorrect form of the verb "be" with a singular subject.
