Hi,
Can anyone help with this question? I saw from Manhattan SC book that "every" is always singular, e.g. "every dog and cat has...", but in the question below, "every eight students now has/ have...? The correct answer for the question is neither of these 2 options, but I'd like to clarify which one is correct considering only the first part of the sentence.
A survey of private schools shows that there are now one teacher for every eight students, twice as many than there were five years ago.
A. there are now one teacher for every eight students, twice as many than there were
B. there is now one teacher for every eight students, twice as many than there were
C. there is now one teacher for every eight students, twice as many as there were
D. every eight students now have one teacher, twice as many than there were
E. every eight students now has one teacher, twice as many as
Thanks.
