Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

(1) and (3) are incorrect because if only one article is used with the two nouns, it means that only one is referred to and as such it will have a singular verb whereas (1) and (2) both have plural verbs. (4) is incorrect because “could” and “coming” have no constitution in the structure of the given sentence.
