What's the subject?
What is the subject for these sentences? I can't seem to figure it out.
1. Despite having long periods of what appears to be normal temperature, I am concerned if the food is still any good. (Is this sentence correct? Is 'having' the subject with singular verb 'appears'?)
2. Despite having long periods of what appear to be normal temperature, I am concerned if the food is still any good.Is this sentence correct? Is 'having long periods' the subject with plural verb 'appear'?)
Thanks for your help!
