Problem 16 - Olympiad

Which sentence has the correct subject-verb agreement?

A. The list of items are on the desk.B. The list of items is on the desk.C. The list of items were on the desk.D. The list of items be on the desk.

Correct: B

The true subject is the singular noun 'list,' so the singular verb 'is' is required. The prepositional phrase 'of items' does not affect agreement.
