    Solution

    RuleĀ  ā‡’ 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€˜matterā€™ will take the form depending on ā€˜Locationā€™ or ā€˜locationsā€™. When subject ā€˜locationā€™ is used, verb ā€˜mattersā€™ will be used and when subject ā€˜locationsā€™ is used, verb ā€˜matterā€™ will be used.
