Answer:Explanation:
The subject-verb agreement errors in the paragraph above are underlined and bolded below:
Since a desktop computer, complete with headphones for sound-based functions, exist in every office, work should be simpler.The main subject here referred to in the sentence is “a desktop computer”, which is singular. A singular verb should follow. EXISTS is the right singular verb to use.
However, neither increased efficiency nor improved employee morale have resulted from our switch from paper to computers.According to the rule of subject-verb agreement, when “neither…nor” is used, a singular verb is used. The correct verb to be used here would be HAS.
Indeed, each worker’s tasks has become more complex.The subject “tasks” is in the plural form, and should attract a plural verb HAVE.
In the past, for example, one invoice or two purchase orders was needed to complete a request for supplies.The last listed noun that serves as the subject in the sentence here, “two purchase orders”, determines the verb form that should follow. So, the plural verb “WERE” should follow.
The process, including online confirmation, now require five separate documents.“The process” is a singular, which should attract a singular verb, “REQUIRES”.
The result of this unnecessary complication, not surprisingly, are frustration and curses.The main subject here is “the result”, which is singular should attract a singular verb “IS”.
Everyone, including the supervisors, are fed up with the extra work.“Everyone” is the main subject here, and attracts a singular verb “IS”.
When our division implement a new computer system next month, I expect at least two of my co-workers to quit.“Our division” is taken as a single unit in this sentence, and should attract a singular verb, “IMPLEMENTS”.
Fifteen hours of training are needed to learn the new system, and that is more time than any of us have to waste.“fifteen hours of training” is used here as a single unit specifying time, and should attract the singular verb, “IS”.
Also, in the later part of the sentence, “any of us” should attract a singular verb “HAS”.
Below is the paragraph after correction of the several errors:
Most jobs now require computer skills, but the digital revolution has not improved our quality of life.

I think most of you can imagine this, because I have seen you out there doing the same thing. Anyway, I was crossing an empty part of the lot, gaining speed, when a county employee appeared.

my english hw is getting difficult! A man wants to enter an exclusive club, but he doesn't know the password. Another man walks to the door and the doorman says 12, the man says 6, and is let in. Another man walks up and the doorman says 6, the man says 3, and is let in. Thinking he had heard enough, he walks up to the door and the doorman says 10, he says 5, and he isn't let in. What should he have said?
Answer:
3
Explanation:
it's the amount of letters in each word number as the code. Ten has three letters.
Answer:
i think i know 3?
Explanation:
well at first i thought that it was half because half of 12 is 6 and half of 6 is 3
and so half of 10 is five, but since it wasn't correct, i looked closely and look at this
TWELVE= 6 letters
SIX= 3 letters
and so they have the answer correct, and it want half, because it was the amount of letters the number had.
so....
TEN= 3 letters
so maybe that's the answer

Explanation:
According to what you've written in the question, there are approximately 10 errors in the passage. I was able to find nine. Notice that, in the original passage, the verbs were not agreeing with the subjects properly. In the passage I posted above, they have already been corrected.
They are as follows:
1. a desktop computer... exist --> exists (singular subject, singular verb)
2.neither increased efficiency nor improved employee morale have --> has (subjects with "neither... nor" need a singular verb)
3. tasks has --> have (plural subject, plural verb)
4. one invoice or two purchase orders was --> were (when the subject has "or", the verb agrees with the noun closest to it)
5. the process... require --> requires (singular subject, singular verb)
6. the result... are --> is (singular subject, singular verb)
7. everyone... are --> is (singular subject, singular verb)
8. our division implement --> implements (singular subject, singular verb)
9. any of us have --> has (the verb agrees with "any", not "us")
