问题 Which of the following sentences is INCORRECT?

选项 A、Fire and water do not agree.
B、Each minute and each second are valuable.
C、Bread and butter is a nutritious food for patients.
D、The scholar and poet is dead.

答案B

解析 考查主谓一致。and连接两个单数名词或代词作主语时,谓语动词一般用复数形式;但and连接两个作主语的单数名词指同一人、同一物或同一概念时,谓语动词用单数形式。如:Theteacher and writer is a very wise man.这里The teacher and writer是指同一个人,即既是老师也是作家。若要指两个人时,writer前面必须加冠词the。A、C、D表述均正确,A项指两个事物,故用复数形式;C项的bread and butter是指一种食物“奶油面包”,相当于buttered bread,故用单数。D项The scholar and poet指同一个人,故用单数。B不正确,原因在于and连接的两个主语之前有each,every,no many a(n)时,谓语动词只能用单数形式,如No sound and(no)voice isheard.万籁俱寂。
