[ buzzer ] >> sorry, but it's wrong. and he's not alone. a lot of kids would miss what's not right in this sentence. the principle here is subject-verb agreement. the subject of the sentence is not "spectators." it's "each." and "each" is singular. therefore, the verb needs to be singular, as well. so, the sentence should read, "each of the 5,000 spectators at the game was cheering wildly." tom clements is an s.a.t. tutor and author. he has an easy way to check your sentence -- read it without all the other words that get between the subject and the verb. >> so, in the sentence "each of the 5,000 spectators at the game were cheering wildly," which is a mistake, if you bracket off the prepositional phrase "of the 5,000 spectators at the game," then the sentence -- the subject and the verb -- immediately fall into place, and you can see what the problem is gonna be. >> so let's see if it w

and the idea is that if you remember your high school gramm grammar, it's a nonrestrictive clause. and even though with respect to official misconduct, it defines department heads to include other managerial employees. it does not restrict your hearing process. which should be reflected here and in the next chapter, chapter 3. with respect to the representation of these complaints. i have always felt very strongly, it's less clear in the current task force. when a citizen brings a complaint to the task force, the citizen has done his part. and from that point it's up to the task force to advice departments, city employees on the enforcement of the law. and if that means referring it somewhere else, the task force itself is the interested party at that point. it's not up to the complainant to turn this into a steeple chase or obstacle course. and block the complainant at every instance. because the entire city has interest in enforcement of that law.

(averill) eventually, the idea is that they can then bring something of their own style, something of their own spirit to the music and transform it-- make it something personal. take the example of jazz musicians who study solos of previous jazz greats who learn to reproduce those solos note by note. then they're able to take their own solos to begin to do something brilliant and creative and imaginative. (redman) i usually say that i'm self-taught because i never had a real private instructor as a saxophonist. but my teachers i consider to be the great musicians from the past and the great musicians from the present. i've learned from listening to the records. i consider sonny rollins one of my greatest teachers even though i've never met the man. so the way i've learned is by listening and by playing with great musicians both great older musicians-- my elders, masters-- but also with my peers. i think i've learned
