    Question

    Improve the highlighted part of the sentence.
    The day are warm, so the students ate their lunch outside.

    A.

    is warm

    B.

    No improvement

    C.

    was warming

    D.

    was warm

    Correct option is A

    The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (a) is warm.
    Explanation: The subject “ day” is singular, so the verb must be “is”, not “are.”
    Grammatical rule used:
    · Singular subjects take singular verbs (He is, She goes, It runs).
    · Plural subjects take plural verbs (They are, We go, You run).
    Example:
    Incorrect: The boy are playing.
    Correct: The boy is playing.
    Information Booster:
    Even when part of the sentence uses plural nouns (like “students”), the verb must match the true subject of the clause.
