    Solution

    RuleĀ  ⇒ Ensure that the verb agrees with the true subject and not with an intervening plural object of a preposition or any other intervening plural. Here, the true subject is Location or locations. So the verb ā€˜matter’ will take the form depending on ā€˜Location’ or ā€˜locations’. When subject ā€˜location’ is used, verb ā€˜matters’ will be used and when subject ā€˜locations’ is used, verb ā€˜matter’ will be used.
