Answer 1

every boy and every girl are given vaccination

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

The sentence is Every boy and every girl was given vaccination.

When the indefinite pronoun "every" is included in the subject, even though two subjects are joined by the conjunction "and," the verb will always be singular.

Every in this sentence is a part of the subject, so we will use a singular verb.

• Option A, "was provided," is accurate because it uses a single verb, which is what is required in this context for the phrase to be grammatically correct.
• Since "are given" is a plural verb, Option B is incorrect.
• The word "give" in Option C is wrong since the addition of the phrase "every boy and every girl has given" will alter the sentence's meaning. To be grammatically correct, it needed to be followed by "been."
• Because "were given" is a plural verb, Option D is incorrect.

Therefore, 'are given' is the correct answer.
