Answer 1

A black and white cow are grazing in the feild now.

Answer 2

The complete sentence should be:

A black and white cow are grazing in the field now.

* The verb used here( are) is in agreement with the subject.

* Two subjects are present- 'black and white cow' and so the verb to be used should also be plural.

* For a singular subject, we also choose a singular verb.

For example: Ravi teaches English.

* For a plural subject, the verb is always a plural one.

For example: The cows are grazing in the field.
