Question

Choose the correct sentence:

• A. Rabies cause inflammation in the brain.
• B. Rabies causes inflammation in the brain.
• C. Rabies are dangerous.
• D. Rabies were caused by bacteria.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Rabies causes inflammation in the brain.

• "Rabies" is a singular noun, though it looks plural. It refers to a single disease.

• So the verb must also be singular: "causes", not "cause" or "are".
