Ответ:

The peculiarity of these sentences is that they are all examples designed to highlight complex or tricky rules of subject-verb agreement in English. Each sentence presents a specific case, such as agreement with compound subjects, collective nouns, indefinite pronouns, or phrases that separate the subject from the verb, making the correct verb form less obvious.

Перевод:

Особенность этих предложений заключается в том, что все они являются примерами, предназначенными для освещения сложных или хитрых правил согласования подлежащего и сказуемого в английском языке. Каждое предложение представляет собой особый случай, такой как согласование с составными подлежащими, собирательными существительными, неопределенными местоимениями или фразами, которые отделяют подлежащее от сказуемого, делая правильную форму глагола менее очевидной.
