What is the author's tone of this paragraph from "The Gift of the Magi" (Hint: This occurs at the very end of the story when Del

la and Jim realize that they traded their prized possessions for each other.)?
The magi, as you know, were wise men—wonderfully wise men—who brought gifts to the Babe in the manger. They invented the art of giving Christmas presents. Being wise, their gifts were no doubt wise ones, possibly bearing the privilege of exchange in case of duplication. And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house. But in a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest. Of all who give and receive gifts, such as they are wisest. Everywhere they are wisest. They are the magi.

Is the subject- verb agreement correct? A friendly smile and a firm handshake was working well for Eric.
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

A friendly smile and a firm handshake<em> were</em> working well for Eric

Explanation:

A friendly smile and a firm handshake was working well for Eric.

this is wrong

because A friendly smile is different and a firm handshake is also different

so we need to use<em> were</em> instead of <em>was</em>

<em></em>

<em>so a true sentence will be:</em>

A friendly smile and a firm handshake were working well for Eric.
