Matriculating students of 2025 will have their graduation on the 25th/12/25. Everybody ___ to come for the rehearsal on the 24th at 10:00am. A. are told B. is told C. none of them D. either

Step 1: Analyze Question 18. The sentence is "Matriculating students of 2025 will have their graduation on the 25th/12/25. Everybody ________ to come for the rehearsal on the 24th at 10:00am." The subject "Everybody" is a singular indefinite pronoun. The verb must agree with this singular subject. The context implies a passive voice, as "Everybody" is being told to come. Comparing the options: A. are told (plural verb) B. is told (singular verb) C. none of them (not a verb phrase) D. either (not a verb phrase) The correct singular passive verb form is "is told".

Step 2: Analyze Question 19. The sentence is "The 85 year old great great mother ________ up each day and walks around the house from 5:00am to 6:00 am before the rest of the family members." The subject "The 85 year old great great mother" is singular. The phrase "each day" indicates a habitual action, requiring the simple present tense. For a singular third-person subject in the simple present tense, the verb takes an "-s" ending. Comparing the options: A. wake (base form, used for plural subjects or as an infinitive) B. have wake (incorrect auxiliary verb and form) C. has wake (incorrect form; 'has woken' would be present perfect, but simple present is needed) D. wakes (singular simple present tense) The correct form is "wakes".

Step 3: Analyze Question 20. The sentence is "Nobody ________ going to the culture show next weekend was the announcement made by the chief due to the death of one of their leader in the community." The subject "Nobody" is a singular indefinite pronoun. The verb must agree with this singular subject. The blank is part of the announcement's content, which refers to a future event ("next weekend") but is stated as a present fact within the announcement. Comparing the options: A. were (plural past tense) B. are (plural present tense) C. is (singular present tense) D. am (first person singular present tense) Since "Nobody" is singular, "is" is the grammatically correct option.

• Question 18: The correct option is B. Everybody is told to come for the rehearsal. $\boxed{B. is told}$

• Question 19: The correct option is D. The 85 year old great great mother wakes up each day. $\boxed{D. wakes}$

• Question 20: The correct option is C. Nobody is going to the culture show next weekend was the announcement. $\boxed{C. is}$
