Each clown and krumper, regardless of dance experience, are welcome to perform in the dance battle. how should the sentence above be rewritten to correct the subject-verb agreement error? the sentence is correct as written. each clown and krumper, regardless of dance experience, is welcome to perform in the dance battle. each clown and krumper, regardless of dance experience, do have the right to perform in the dance battle. each clown and krumper, regardless of dance experience, perform in the dance battle.

The correct answer is B. Each clown and krumper, regardless of dance experience, is welcome to perform in the dance battle.

Explanation:

In grammar, for a sentence to be correct it requires there is an agreement between the pronoun or subject in the sentence and the verb, this means if the subject or agent that performs the action is plural the verb should be plural as well; similarly if the verb is singular the verb should be singular. Additionally, in the case of indefinite pronouns such as each, everyone, anyone or someone the verb should be plural and in the case of indefinite pronouns such as all or both the verb should be plural. This means in the case of the sentence presented the subject is "Each clown and krumper" and due to the word "each" this subject is singular and therefore the verb should be "is" rather than "are". Thus, the sentence should be rewritten as "Each clown and krumper, regardless of dance experience, is welcome to perform in the dance battle".

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
