Answer:

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

Step-by-step 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 were instead of was

so a true sentence will be:

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