When is it appropriate to break the rule that requires subjects joined by and to use a plural verb

English

Artist 52 [7]3 years ago

The conventional rule is to take the plural form of the verb when two nouns are joined by the conjunction 'and'. However, there are exceptions. Only then can you break the rule.

When the two nouns refer to one thing only, then you can use the single form. For example: The president and the CEO joins the meeting today. In this example, the president and CEO apply to one person only. Hence, you use the singular form of the verb.

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Explanation: Achebe's "Things fall apart"(1958) was actually a response to Conrad's "Heart of Darkness". Achebe who is also known as the father of modern African literature felt that Conrad was racist in his approach and methodology in the depiction of Africans and their culture. In his essay titled "An Image of Africa: Racism in Conrad's 'Heart of Darkness'" interrogates the stereotyped manner of the portrayal of Africans in Conrad's book. <em>He felt that Conrad being an outsider can never feel the true pain and worth of the struggle and suffering of the Africans and he(Conrad) had further added to their domain of treating them(Africans) as savage instead of portraying it in its natural form. To undo Conrad's racist portrayal according to Achebe, he has glorified the African culture in "Things fall apart". </em>
