Complete the sentence using the correct verb form and mark your answer in the response sheet. The life span of certain species ___________ very short.

Awere

Bis

Care

Dhave been

Answer:

B. is

Read Explanation:

  • The full subject is: The life span

  • Even though certain species is plural, it's part of a prepositional phrase (of certain species) and does not affect the verb.

  • So the main subject is singular: The life span

  • Singular present tense verb — correctly agrees with the subject life span.
