Random information on the term “Formal agreement”:
Attraction, in linguistics, is a type of error in language production that incorrectly extends a feature from one word in a sentence to another. This can refer to agreement attraction, wherein a feature is assigned based on agreement with another word. This tends to happen in English with Subject Verb Agreement, especially where the subject is separated from the verb in a complex noun phrase structure. It can also refer to Case Attraction, which assigns features based on grammatical roles, or in dialectal forms of English, Negative Attraction which extends negation particles.
Agreement attraction occurs when a verb agrees with a noun other than its subject. It most commonly occurs with complex subject noun phrases, a notable example of this appeared in the New Yorker:

While Bock pointed to this example, it doesn’t follow the more common pattern where the local nouns are plural and attract plural marking onto the verb, such as in the sentence:
Random information on the term “PACT”:
The Pact (1998) is the fifth novel by the American author Jodi Picoult about a possible suicide pact between two teenage lovers, and the journey that one must take after losing a loved one.
The Pact does not have traditional numbered chapters. The novel alternates between a series of present-day occurrences, labelled as “Now”, and past events, labelled as “Then”, which provides context to the relationships of the characters and the story line. Each segment of the novel contains a different character’s perspective, while being narrated in the third person. The interplay between past and present throughout the story leads to a climactic revelation that provides an answer to the “who done it” mystery.
In the fall of 1979, the Golds, consisting of a recently pregnant Melanie Gold and her husband Michael Gold, moved into the small town of Bainbridge, New Hampshire.

Their husbands, James Harte and Michael Gold would follow suit and the families would soon raise their firstborns together.
