The bread and the butter ( )on saleis还是are呢

问题描述:

The bread and the butter ( )on sale
is还是are呢

are

are
只要有and连接,不管是否是单复数,都是用are
for example:
Playing football and playing soccer are my favorite sports.

are The bread and the butter 指两个事物
意思为面包和黄油正在销售中。。。
如果原题为The bread and butter() on sale.没有后面那个顶冠词the的话
就应该选is ,The bread and butter指的就是一个事物,即黄油面包

are
因为The bread and the butter 不是一样东西,所以要用are

are
两个前面都有the说明是两个东西
如果是the bread and butter就是约定俗成的一个组合,用is
