Explanation:

The task is to decide whether we will use a singular or plural form of the verb. This is regulated with a grammar instance called a subject-verb agreement, which proposes that both subject and verb must have the same number, so if the subject is singular, then the verb must be singular too, and vice versa. Therefore, we should pay attention when we are deciding what is the subject of the sentence in a way to what part of the sentence the verb relates to.
