Question

Which sentence correctly uses the agreement rule that applies to compound subjects joined by and? A. Boys and girls, along with a parent, is welcome to attend a dance battle. B. Parents, along with boys and girls, are welcome to attend a dance battle. C. Mothers or fathers, if interested, are able to register their kids for clowning classes D. After the assembly, teachers and students are able to meet Tommy the Clown.

Answer 1

D. After the assembly, teachers and students are able to meet Tommy the Clown.

The compound subject of this sentence is "teachers and students". The verb "are" agrees with the compound subject. Option A is wrong because "is" doesn't agree with the compound subject. Option C is wrong because the question asks for a subject with "and", but Option C's subject uses "or" to connect the compound subjects. Option B is wrong because the subject is parents, and it is not compound.
