Hey! Lamis needs help with this :

1-Choose the correct verb form to complete each sentence:
a. Either my mom or my sisters (is/are) going to bake cookies for the bake sale.
b. Each of the dogs (bark/barks) at the mail carrier every morning.
c. The team (is/are) winning its game today.

If you could take a look and let us know, that’d be awesome—thank you so much!

Hello!

Either my mom or my sisters (is/are) going to bake cookies for the bake sale.
Correct answer: are
(When subjects are joined by "either/or," the verb agrees with the nearest subject—in this case, "sisters," which is plural.)

Each of the dogs (bark/barks) at the mail carrier every morning.
Correct answer: barks
("Each" is singular, so the verb is singular as well.)

The team (is/are) winning its game today.
Correct answer: is
(When referring to a group as a single unit, use the singular verb "is.")

Hope this helps!
