Final answer:

Explanation of subject-verb agreement with indefinite pronouns in a sentence.


Explanation:

The sentence that demonstrates subject-verb agreement with the underlined indefinite pronoun is:

  • All of the mashed potatoes were eaten, but all of the salad remains.

In this sentence, all is an indefinite pronoun that refers to the plural noun mashed potatoes, hence the plural verb form 'were' is correctly used to agree with it. On the other hand, salad is singular, requiring the singular verb 'remains'.
