Under the Rules of Evidence, all offers to settle a civil dispute is inadmissible to prove liability. The subject and verb of a sentence must either both be singular or both be plural. Answer C is the correct choice because the subject ("offers") is plural and the verb ("is") is singular. Answer A is not the correct choice because the phrase "Each one of the defendants" is treated as singular and the verb ("entered") is singular. Answer B is not the correct choice because the phrase "None of the plaintiff" is treated as singular and the verb ("was") is singular. Answer D is not the correct choice because "All of the plaintiffs" is treated as plural and the verb ("developed") agrees.
