Directions: Make the verb agree with its subject. Underline your answer. One day

during Filipino week. Roger and his classmates visited the art collections of a prominent

businessman in Manila.

Thelma : I’m glad I came along with you Ms. Alejo. Every object here¹ (is,
are) a work of art. I had no idea that many a Filipino artisan² (was,
were) so skillful.
Miss Alejo : Indeed every object here³ (is, are) to be appreciated. Well now that
you know, you can take pride in every native craftsmanship that
⁴(is, are) being displayed here. Look at this ebony compact inlaid
with silver. Isn’t it a beauty?
Ralph : I prefer this gold-handled Cris in this quaint silver pipe. These must
have been used by a sultan. Every part⁵ (look, looks)so elegant.
Can you tell us their history, Miss Alejo?
Miss Alejo : Let’s ask Mr. Bandillo. I’m sure he can give you more information
that can. He’s an art connoisseur, you know, and this is his private
collection.
Mr. Bandillo : I’d be glad to share what I know. It’s good to see you take interest
in our native culture. More people should.
Rogelio : What’s this, Mr. Bandillo?
Cris : What were these boxes for?
Mr. Bandillo : Many a box there ⁹(is, are) considered family heirloom. That
exquisitely carved perfume box had been prized by the sultan’s
wife and kept in the family for centuries before I purchased it. That
bigger gold box with its distinctive markings had been filled with the
sultan’s betel nuts, and that of bronze casting had been designed
to hold the royal cutlery. That group over there with variegated
covers, some even bigger and taller than the boxes they cover, are
tobacco containers called “payran”
Miss Alejo : Were boxes their main interest?

Mr. Bandillo : Every bar or bronze jar and urn ¹⁰(interest, interests) them. That
wide-mouthed one beside you, the “bintang”, had been offered by
the sultan’swife in a temple. Observe the clever silversmithing work
on it. And this “cabo”, used in Maranaw homes to symbolize wealth,
is many centuriesold. These jars were set in conspicuous places in
homes.

Thelma : How about the winged wooden stand in the corner, Mr.
Bandillo?Mr. Bandillo: An antique spindle, said to be 300 years old.
Since it was placed there, it has been regarded with curiosity but it
had been carefully used in hand spinning for many centuries. Our
people will adept in wood curving too. You have not noticed this
table. Look at its intricate carving and mosaic design. Possibly this
has been set in a mosque; it looks like an altar table. It could have
been used in religious rites as gongs were.

Ms. Alejo : Thank you very much for the interesting lesson, Mr. Badillo. May
we come again for more information?

Mr. Badillo : Surely. Just call me up before you do. Maybe by the time you come
again,this collection will have been increased.

 A. Instructions: Underline the verb that best completes each sentence in the
following paragraphs.

Every individual (1say, says) good-bye to childhood. He/She may

start looking at life in a different way. The youth will gradually be taking
more responsibilities and challenges in life. Every youth (2feel, feels) many
different emotions; relationships with friends and family may change.

Growing up is all about learning to make choices – choices about

life, about friends and about oneself. These are the challenges many a
teenager (3have, has) to undergo.

Just remember, many a teenager (4grow, grows) up. Every adult

was an adolescent once.

Growing up means getting out of your shell and becoming your own
person. I’m me, not Mr. Reyes’s son or daughter. In short, establishing an
identity away from parents is creating a niche where you belong. Every
friend or classmate(5form, forms) a large part of the niche.

Often many a goal (7is, are) nearer than it seems to a faint and faltering
man. Often every struggler (8has, have) given up when he might have captured
the victor’s cup; and he learned too late when the night came down, how close
he was to the golden crown. Many a success (9is,are) failure turned inside out.
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt.
