Question

The actor and producer ___ is/are making a new film now.

Answer 1

Are

Step-by-step explanation:

“ Are is a compound whilst “is is singular

Answer 2

Answer: is

Explanation:

When two nouns are joined by' and' and refer to the same person, the subject agrees with singular verbs.Hence, only one article is used for both nouns:

• My friend and brother has come.
• The novelist and poet is speaking.

But, if the nouns refer to different persons,the verb is plural.Hence, the article comes to individual nouns.

• The novelist and the poet are my close friends.
• My friend and my brother are coming to see my today.
