The talented dancer and master ____ sacked by the executive.
- Has
- Have
- Was
- Were
Hint:
Here, master and dancer refer to the same person giving the sentence a singular subject.
The correct answer is: Was
Option 3 is the correct answer.
Singular subjects take singular verbs and plural subjects take plural verbs. Here although the two nouns are connected by and, they are referring to the same person, therefore making the subject singular. If the nouns were connected by and but referred to two different people, it would be plural.
