Dried-up creek beds across the area have (has) started flowing again thanks to the earthquake that shook our community last month The quake displaced groundwater which has worked its way to the surface.

Explanation:

Subject-verb agreement refers to the relationship between the subject and the verb of the sentence. And according to this agreement, they must agree with each other with regards to the number, i.e, if the subject is singular, so will the verb be and accordingly.

In the given passage, the subject-verb agreement is wrong in the line "Dried-up creek beds across the area has started...". Here, the verb "has" will be changed to "have", with regards to the subject "dried-up creek beds" which is plural, and thus the use of the singular "has" is wrong.

Thus, the incorrect verb is "has" and should be replaced by "have".

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
