Explanation:

In the given passage, the requirement is to see whether the subject-verb agreement is correct or not. Subject-verb agreement refers to the compatibility or correctness of the relation between the subject and the corresponding verb in the sentence.

There are two answers to be provided in the given passage. One is (pay) and the other (receive). Considering the subject form of the sentence, we can say that there are two ways of making the correct subject-verb agreement.

1. The sentence will remain the same with the same "pay" and "receive".

2. The two words can be replaced by "paid" and "received" depending on the tense of the sentence.

So, if the tense is in the present tense, then point no. 1 is valid while for past tenses, point no. 2 is valid.
