Answer:
The appropriate verb form will be as follows-
1. Man and woman are complementary to each other.
2. Plenty of mangoes and bananas are available in this season.
3. A dictionary and an atlas are missing from the library.
4. The leader as well as his brothers belongs to the same tribe.
Explanation:
- To use the correct verb form, we should always follow the rules of subject-verb agreement.
- Subject-verb agreement decides whether a subject is singular or plural.
- If the subject is considered to be singular then it will take singular verb.
- If the subject is considered to be plural, then it will take plural verb.
- In the 1st sentence "man and woman" denotes plural, so it will take plural verb.
- In the 2nd sentence, "plenty of mangoes and bananas" again denotes plural, so it will take plural verb.
- In the 3rd sentence, "a dictionary and an atlas" denotes two different books i.e. plural, so it will again take plural verb.
- In the last sentence the phrase "the leader as well as his brothers" is singular as "as well as" denotes singular, so it will take singular verb.
