The SAT always includes subject-verb agreement problems, just as Nancy 
Tuten's posting illustrates.  One type is like Nancy's example, with 
prepositional phrases between the subject and verb which have have objects 
that are different in number than the subject.  In another type there is a 
delayed subject, as in this practice question from "The Official SAT, a 
Teacher's Guide" published by College Board:  "At the heart of the program, 
enthusiastically endorsed by the city's business association, is plans for 
refurbishing neighborhoods . . . ."
