Answer:

The answer to your question would be that the verbs that agree with the compound subjects in the sentence are the following ones: Take, are.

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound subjects occur when a sentence has more than one subject. The individual subjects are joined by a coordinating conjunction (and, or, neither, nor). In both parts of the sentence, the subjects are joined by the coordinating conjunction and. Therefore, in both cases, the verb agrees with the plural pronoun they.
