EN: The subject of the sentence is 'The discovery of patterns'. Although 'patterns' is plural, the head noun is the singular 'discovery'. Therefore, the verb 'guides' must be in the singular form (ending in -s) to agree with the singular subject. This is a key rule of Subject-Verb Agreement.
中文: 本句的主语是「The discovery of patterns」(规律的发现)。虽然「patterns」(规律)是复数,但核心名词是单数的「discovery」(发现)。因此,动词「guides」必须使用单数形式(词尾加 -s)以与单数主语保持一致。这是主谓一致(Subject-Verb Agreement)的重要规则。

EN: The subject of the sentence is the noun phrase 'The reduction of errors'. In English, when a subject contains a prepositional phrase (like 'of errors'), the verb must agree with the head noun ('reduction', which is singular), not the noun inside the prepositional phrase ('errors', which is plural). Therefore, the singular verb 'raises' is used.
中文: 本句的主语是名词短语「The reduction of errors」(错误的减少)。在英文中,当主语包含介词短语(如「of errors」)时,动词必须与核心名词(单数的「reduction」)保持一致,而非介词短语中的名词(复数的「errors」)。因此,此处使用单数动词「raises」。
