Which of the following sentences demonstrate correct subject-verb agreement?

(A) The array of solar panels generates sufficient power for the spacecraft bus.
(B) Both the navigation computer and the attitude sensors require periodic calibration.
(C) Neither the fuel pump nor the valves was damaged during the hot-fire test.
(D) The list of flight test anomalies were published yesterday.
Answer Key:
A,B,C

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

### Solution: A is correct: singular subject 'array' takes 'generates'. B is correct: compound subject joined by 'and' takes plural 'require'. C is correct in standard formal rule where subject nearest verb ('valves' is plural, wait: 'valves was' is wrong! If nearest subject is plural, verb should be plural: 'valves were'). So C has error. What about D? 'list ... were' is wrong (list was). Let's fix C to: 'Neither the valves nor the fuel pump was damaged' or check: A and B are certainly correct. Let's make options clear: ["A", "B"].
