Answer 2

Answer:

The correct sentence would be :

Four years is a long time to spend away from your friends and family.

Explanation:

above sentence is the example of subject verb agreement:

Subject-verb agreement refers to the grammatical concept that the subject of a sentence must align with the main verb of that same sentence. In particular, singular subjects take singular verbs and plural subjects take plural verbs.

in the above example subject is Four years, it appears to be plural but it is singular because it does not referring to 4 years but it refers to the period of 4 years which is singular so the verb should be singular type.

Therefore is is used as verb , thats why further the article use is a before long time.

So the correct sentence is Four years is a long time to spend away from your friends and family.
