Which sentence has the correct subject-verb agreement?

about 340 miles was the distance traveled by this tornado.
about 340 miles were the distance traveled by this tornado.

the answer to your question would be that the sentence that has the correct subject-verb agreement is the following one: about 340 miles was the distance traveled by this tornado.

the selected sentence is an example of inverted order. that is, a sentence in which the verb precedes the subject, a sentence with no canonical order (a). when a sentence starts not with the subject but with a phrase preceding the verb, the verb still agrees with the subject, which follows it. you can identify the subject of the sentence if you first identify the verb. then, ask the following question: who/what verbs/verbed? in this case, the question would be as follows: what is about 340 miles? the distance traveled by this tornado. as the subject is singular, the verb should also be singular.

a) the distance traveled by this tornado was about 340 miles

is this the question?

emerson essentially believes that traveling is overrated. he supports this perspective through an initial focus on "the idea" of places like italy, england, and egypt, and the fascination of "educated americans" with them. he argues that those places only took on the grand, majestic ideas that they represent because "they who made england, italy, or greece venerable in the imagination did so by sticking fast where they were, like an axis of the earth." yes, those places are grand, but only because they so clearly represent the places that they are. the art and culture of italy, england, and egypt is authentic, and therefore significant.
