Answer 1

More than fifty quest is expected. bread and butter are their greatest need now. board and lodging have been arranged in separate places. neither i nor you are wrong. my uncle and father are coming to see me today

Answer 2

Answer:

1. are

2. is

3. have

4. are

5. are

Explanation:

• The linking verb “Are” is used for the plural subjects.
• The singular subjects (He, She, and It) use “Is” as a linking verb. In the above sentence “Bread and butter is their greatest need now”, “Is” is used because bread and butter is an idiomatic phrase that means the only source of income for survival.
• “Have” is used for the plural subjects in the present perfect tense sentences.
