Answer 2

Explanation:

Actually, both of the phrases are erroneous. The correct phrase is —”Time and tide wait for none”. This is correct because:-

the word ‘tied’ ,which is written in the question, means fastened or attached and this word is completely not linked to the idiom in any sense. The correct word is ‘tide’ which means alternate rising and falling of the sea.

here, time and tide are 2 different objects or items and the word wait is a verb, and hence according to the rule of English grammar, a sentence is in the form of subject-verb-object (often taught in schools as s-v-o). Whenever the subject is plural, the verb doesn’t use -s or -es suffixes for itself.
