Question

Her friend and benefactor _____ come.

• A. was
• B. has
• C. have
• D. were

Answer 1

Answer:

B. has

• Benefactor - ഉപകാരി, ധനസഹായി
• If two singular nouns refer to the same person(ഒരാളാണ്), the verb must be singular in number. So, we use "has" because it's just one person coming.

For example -

• Singular Verb (Referring to a Single Entity):

  • "The chef and owner has a special recipe." (The same person is both the chef and owner.)

• Plural Verb (Referring to Two Separate Individuals):

  • "The chef and the waiter have different uniforms." (The chef and waiter are two different people with distinct uniforms.)
