Asked in Premeth Test 8 — Fundamental Concepts of Chemistry

The parental and spiritual guidance, as well as the love of a mother, _wanting.

Correct answer: C. are

  • A. was
  • B. were
  • C. are
  • D. have been

Explanation

The subject of the sentence is a compound noun phrase: 'The parental and spiritual guidance, as well as the love of a mother'. The main subject includes both 'guidance' and 'love', making it plural. Therefore, the verb must also be plural to maintain subject-verb agreement.In this case, 'are' is the correct choice as it matches the plural subject and the present tense context. The term 'wanting' functions as an adjective indicating a state of being in need or lack, reinforcing the use of 'are'.Options 'was' and 'have been' are incorrect because they do not match the present tense context of the sentence. Option 'were' is incorrect as it does not correspond with the implied present tense, even though it agrees in number.
