C. plans to offer free shipping on their Web site on almost 60,000 gift items,
including
D. will plan to offer free shipping on its Web site on almost 60,000 gift items,
including
E. is planning to offer free shipping on its Web site on almost 60,000 gift items,
that include


All, My question here is not to find the answer choice but something silly. I want to know if "Walmart stores" is considered singular or plural. I thought "Walmart" is a brand and singular but "Walmart Stores" would be plural.

i am not sure if the noun "Walmart Stores" would behave differently based on the sentence.

Can you folks throw your ideas on this one?

From the answer choices, only A keeps the subject consistent (singular). IMO A, but it does sound strange saying Stores and then using singular subject.

The official answer is A and the reason is "Walmart Stores" is considered singular.
My concern is if "Walmart stores" in any sentence would behave as a plural subject or is it always in a Singular form.

Option C is wrong on subject-verb agreement. "plans" refers to a verb associated with a singular noun, but "their" is a possessive pronoun representing a plural subject.

The right answer IMO is A.

I think the catch here is the capitalized "S" in Stores. "Walmart Stores" is the proper noun, rather than just Walmart. So, Walmart Stores must be interpreted as a singular subject.
