The planes approach the airport. Appropriate subject verb agreement fill up

To identify the sentence in which the verb correctly agrees with the subject, we need to analyze each option and determine whether the verb matches the subject in terms of number (singular or plural).
1. "A COPY OF MOBY DICK AND A MAGAZINE HAS DISAPPERED FROM MY ROOM."
In this sentence, the subject is "a copy of Moby Dick and a magazine," which is a compound subject joined by "and." The verb "has disappeared" agrees with this subject because "a copy of Moby Dick" and "a magazine" are both singular entities.
2. "PEGGY OR PHYLLIS DRIVE ME TO FLORIDA EVERY WINTER."
In this sentence, the subject is "Peggy or Phyllis," which is a compound subject joined by "or." The verb "drive" agrees with this subject because both "Peggy" and "Phyllis" are singular entities.
3. "LES AND MIRANDA IS LATE FOR WORK TODAY."
In this sentence, the subject is "Les and Miranda," which is a compound subject joined by "and." The verb "is" does not agree with this subject because "Les" and "Miranda" are both singular, and the verb should be plural to match the subject. It should be "Les and Miranda are late for work today."
4. "NOT ONLY THE MUFFLER BUT THE SPARK PLUGS NEED TO BE REPLACED."
In this sentence, the subject is "not only the muffler but the spark plugs." The verb "need" agrees with this subject because "the muffler" and "the spark plugs" are both plural entities.
Therefore, the sentence in which the verb correctly agrees with the subject is sentence 4: "Not only the muffler but the spark plugs need to be replaced."
