Subject-verb agreement is one of the fundamental principles of English grammar and requires the verb form to correspond correctly to the subject in number and person. Errors in verbal agreement frequently occur when learners confuse singular and plural subjects or when collective and uncountable nouns are involved. In academic and professional communication, accurate agreement contributes to clarity and grammatical precision. Read the sentences below carefully.
I.The results of the experiment was discussed during the scientific conference yesterday.
II.The professor and the assistant are preparing the material for the final presentation.
III.The information provided by the researchers were considered highly relevant by the committee.
IV.The new technologies developed by the company have improved industrial productivity.
V.The manager of the international projects organize the weekly administrative meetings.

Based on the sentences above, analyze the following statements. T (True) or F (False).
(__)Sentences I, III, and V contain errors of subject-verb agreement.
(__)Sentence II presents correct subject-verb agreement because the compound subject requires a plural verb.
(__)In sentence III, the verb should be replaced by was considered because information is an uncountable singular noun.
(__)Sentence IV contains an error because the plural subject technologies should be followed by the verb has improved.
Choose the correct alternative considering that:

F = False

Air Traffic Controllers


        The USA's Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has launched a recruitment campaign aimed at gamers. The FAA wants them to consider becoming air traffic controllers. There is a shortage of workers in the sector, so the government hopes people skilled at gaming could fill the growing number of vacancies. The US currently needs at least 3,000 controllers. Nick Daniels, president of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, said: “Our union welcomes innovative approaches to expanding the candidate pool, including outreach to individuals with high-level skills, such as gamers, so long as all pathways maintain the rigorous standards required of this safety-critical profession.” 

        The recruitment drive has a video with an Xbox logo on it. The tag line is explicitly aimed at gamers. It says: “You've been training for this… Become an air traffic controller. It's not a game. It's a career.” The promo adds: “You'll keep millions of people safe every year. And make a lot of money.” The enticing salary is $155,000 a year. US Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy said the country needs to tempt “a growing demographic of young adults who have many of the hard skills it takes to be a successful controller”. Some current controllers have said gaming could be a useful skill. They said it had "an influence on their ability to think quickly, stay focused, and manage complexity”.

A new William Hope Hodgson blog

Welcome to Hodgsoniana, a new blog about the life and works of author William Hope Hodgson (1877–1918). The aim of this blog is to provide a home for articles and new research on Hodgson, details of Hodgson-related happenings, and just generally act as an up-to-date (hopefully) resource that’s open to anyone interested in this remarkable literary figure. At time of writing, there is a lack of other active websites covering this subject, which is why starting a blog seemed a worthwhile endeavour. At the very least, it gives me a place to post some Hodgson-related thoughts and findings I’ve been meaning to write up! My hope is that others may be moved to contribute also.

Before going any further, I want to recognise the work of the late Hodgson scholar Sam Gafford, and in particular his excellent Hodgson blog williamhopehodgson.wordpress.com. I first stumbled upon Sam’s blog back in 2016, and his work opened my eyes to the depths and complexities of Hodgson’s history and writings. I entered into brief correspondence with Sam at that time, and his enthusiasm and encouragement were key factors in starting me on the path of pursuing my own Hodgson studies.

Sam Gafford sadly passed away in 2019, leaving his site dormant. It remains a valuable treasure trove of information, and I will certainly aspire to follow Sam’s example in exploring and documenting all matters Hodgson.

2027 will see the 150th anniversary of William Hope Hodgson’s birth. There is still much to discuss regarding his work, and many areas of his life remain obscure and in need of further investigation. I hope this site can help in encouraging and chronicling such efforts.

(§1º) From the earliest time he could remember, William Stoner had his duties. At the age of six he milked the bony cows, slopped the pigs in the sty a few yards from the house, and gathered small eggs from a flock of spindly chickens. And even when he started attending the rural school eight miles from the farm, his day, from before dawn until after dark, was filled with work of one sort or another. At seventeen his shoulders were already beginning to stoop beneath the weight of his occupation.


(§2º) It was a lonely household, of which he was an only child, and it was bound together by the necessity of its toil. In the evenings the three of them sat in the small kitchen lighted by a single kerosene lamp, staring into the yellow flame; often during the hour or so between supper and bed, the only sound that could be heard was the weary movement of a body in a straight chair and the soft creak of a timber giving a little beneath the age of the house.


(§3º) The house was built in a crude square, and the unpainted timbers sagged around the porch and doors. It had with the years taken on the colors of the dry land—gray and brown, streaked with white. On one side of the house was a long parlor, sparsely furnished with straight chairs and a few hewn tables, and a kitchen, where the family spent most of its little time together. On the other side were two bedrooms, each furnished with an iron bedstead enameled white, a single straight chair, and a table, with a lamp and a wash basin on it. The floors were of unpainted plank, unevenly spaced and cracking with age, up through which dust steadily seeped and was swept back each day by Stoner's mother.

Read the following excerpt from the third paragraph (§3º):


"On one side of the house was a long parlor, sparsely furnished with straight chairs and a few hewn tables, and a kitchen, where the family spent most of its little time together."

A job among the stars


(1º§)Working on the ISS (International Space Station) is every astronaut´s dream. Life on board may sound glamorous to some people, but conditions can be uncomfortable and we have a demanding schedule - we work ten-hour days and have one and a half days off - although when you live in your office, it´s hard to separate on-duty and off-duty.

(2º§)Our tasks are quite varied - we do a range of scientific experiments - but we also have to perform routine maintenance and regular safety checks, like cleaning the air filter and inspecting our emergency equipment. We exercise twice a day - if you don´t, your muscles just disappear in the weightless conditions.

(3º§)Life is never dull, but you can feel lonely up here, away from friends and family. Work can also be stressful, so in my free time, I relax by writing and answering emails. I also love taking photos of the views from up here.

The Ringmaster's Advice

        People say, "any publicity is good publicity" allthe time. It's become a modern truism. But people don't seem to give much thought to where it came from.

        While there is no proof that he used exactly those words, the quote is widely attributed to showman P.T. Barnum. I think it's safe to say that even if he never said "any publicity is good publicity," it describes his lived ethos.
    
        P.T. Barnum was the founder of the Barnum & Bailey Circus, billed as "The Greatest Show on Earth." He advertised fake mermaids and a woman who claimed to be George Washington's 161-year-old nurse. Barnum's traveling shows featured midgets, Siamese twins, bearded ladies, and even "Jo-Jo the Dog-Faced Boy."

        There's no record of him saying these exact words either, but he is also widely credited with the quote, "there's a sucker born every minute."

        P.T. Barnum did describe himself as the "Prince of Humbug," proudly owning his reputation for hoaxes and "harmless" deceptions.

        Barnum was an interesting character, but he's not a man we should be encouraging other men, especially young men, to emulate. Unfortunately, his ethos is more or less what social media has been teaching kids for the past ten years.

        And at the same time, everyone complains that everything is "fake and ghey."

        Well... if you follow the ringmaster's advice, don't be surprised when you end up living in a circus.
