Answer:

The correct answer is Every boy and every girl was given a prize.

Explanation:

Even though two subjects are connected by the conjunction "and," the verb will always be singular whenever the indefinite pronoun "every" is included in the subject. Every in this sentence is a component of the  subject, so we will use a singular verb.

Therefore, "was" is appropriate because it is a singular verb, and this statement requires a singular verb to be grammatically correct. Despite being joined by and, two nouns qualified by "each" or "every" only need a singular verb.

Therefore, the correct sentence is Every boy and every girl was given a prize.
