DOUBT 1 :
I'm not much of an athlete, but I like softball, soccer, and hockey/ to play hockey
The correct answer is to play hockey
WHY????
DOUBT 2:
Although most large asset management firms can afford to run their own information technology operations, some smaller firms are discovering that the cost associated with maintaining an information technology staff and from continuously upgrading hardware and software are larger than they initially estimated.
EXPLANATION:
The subject (cost, which is singular) and verb (are, which is plural) do not agree. Since multiple costs are being discussed and the verb, which appears outside the underlined part of the sentence, is plural, the subject needs to be plural as well.
Can someone explan the mismatch between the subject 'cost' and the verb 'are'.
