Which sentence uses a verb that agrees with its compound subject?
Sloan [31]
The correct answer is C because it is the only option where a verb agrees with its compound subject correctly.
In A, it should be 'have eaten', because there are two subjects, 'a robin' and 'a sparrow'.
In B it should be 'are nominees', because there are two of them.
In D, neither goes with a singular verb.
