Both the kids and their parents ______ English, I think. I know it from their accent.
a、is
b、been
c、are
d、was

Answer 1

c、are

主谓一致的语法。both … and … 连接的名词短语共同做句子的主语，所以谓语动词用复数。

Both the kids and their parents are English, I think. I know it from their accent.

句意：我想孩子和他父母都是英国人，我是从他们的口音得知的。

原则

主谓一致的原则是指，主语和谓语从语法形式上取得一致：主语是单数形式，谓语也采取单数形式；主语是复数形式，谓语必须采取复数形式。

例如：A grammar book helps you learn something about the rules of a language.

(主语是单数形式，谓语也采取单数形式）

语法书帮助你学习语言的某些规则。

Answer 2

答案：C
解释：前面作主语的是复数，所以be用are。
