Question: #13: Grammar error. Verb-tense must always agree with the subject, NEVER with the prepositional phrase. The subject here is "he," which is of course singular. "People," although pural, is a part of the prepositional phrase "of those people" and therefore must be totally disregarded in determining the verb-tense. So the correct answer is A. #27: Answer C also.
In this sentence, “who” refers to “people,” which is plural. Therefore, the verb following “who” should also be plural, making “are” the correct choice. “Is” would not be correct in this context. The phrase “who are always on time” refers to “those people,” which is plural. Therefore, the verb should also be plural (“are”).
