Agreement; Idiom
Th e plural subject of this sentence, Rock samples,
requires plural verb phrases—have been dated and
are rather than has been dated and is. Th e idiomatic
way of expressing estimation of age is with the
phrase dated at.
A Th e subject and verbs do not agree; dated to
be … is not idiomatic.
B Th e subject and verb do not agree; the
conjunction and thus should be followed by
a verb.
C Dated to be is not idiomatic.
D As being is not idiomatic; the conjunction
and thus should be followed by a verb.
E Correct. Th e plural verbs match the plural
subject, and the wording of the sentence is
idiomatic.
Th e correct answer is E.
