The corrections have been made based on the subject-verb agreement in English. Subject-verb agreement is a grammatical rule that states that the verb must agree with its subject in both number and tense. If the subject is singular, the verb must be singular; if the subject is plural, the verb must be plural.Here are how the sentences have been corrected based on the rules of subject-verb agreement:1. "Margo and her parents visit each other often": Here 'Margo and her parents' is plural, hence the verb 'visit' is used. 2. "Either the cups or the glasses are in the dishwasher": We are talking about multiple items (cups or glasses) hence 'are' is used.3. In sentences 26 and 32, the rule applied is that with either/or or neither/nor sentences, the verb agrees with the nearer subject.4. In sentence 28, 'The committee works hard for better schools', the committee is treated as a single entity, hence the verb 'works' is used.5. In sentence 35, 'family' is considered a singular entity and hence 'is' is used. By adhering to the subject-verb agreement rule, the sentences have thereby been corrected.
