the form of verb
8. A hot shower, a cup of milk, a bag of potato chips, and then a good sleep ________ the luxury that he needed after the examination. [ ]
a. are b. was
c. were d. is
When there are a lot of subjects, the verb must be plural. So the answer is C. Right?
Every drop of tears, every moan out of pain and every cry for help then ________ like knife cutting deep into his heart. [ ]
a. was b. are
c. were d. is
But in this question, the subject is uncountable noun, so the verb has to be singular form. And that is the reason why the answer of this question is different to the aforementioned. Right?
