Tommy, in an effort to maintain clowning's positive roots, have invited dancers to weekly performance battles. Tommy invite dancers to weekly performance battles. Tommy, in an effort to maintain clowning's positive roots, invites dancers to weekly performance battles

Answer 1

The correct answer is Tommy, in an effort to maintain clowning's positive roots, invites dancers to weekly performance battles. This keeps the entire sentence in present tense so that there is no agreement error.

Answer 2

Answer: D) Tommy, in an effort to maintain clowning's positive roots, invites dancers to weekly performance battles.

Explanation: Subject-verb agreement means the subject and verb must have the same number (both singular or both plural). From the given options, the one that has a correct subject-verb agreement, is the corresponding to option D: Tommy, in an effort to maintain clowning's positive roots, invites dancers to weekly performance battles, because the subject is singular (Tommy), and the verb is also in singular form (invites).
