<p>Introducing new ideas and replacing old ones IS/ARE always better....</p>
<p>guys, the answer as per book is "IS" ( gerunds as subjects) but i think that it must be "are" coz ther is AND betwen two gerunds, which makes the subject plural as a whole ... pls gv ua suggestions</p>
<p>you have to post the full sentence. </p>
<p>“introducing new ideas and replacing old ones”</p>
<p>could be singular or plural</p>
<p>do u hv any explaination for why “introducing new ideas and replacing old ones” could be singular or plural. if u hv , pls explain…</p>
<p>iirc, it can be grouped (collected) as a single related idea, or treated as two gerunds.</p>
<p>^ I agree. </p>
<p>Or maybe the rest of the context says something like “the concept of introducing” or something. </p>
<p>You’re talking about the introducing, NOT the many ideas. That’s the important part here. You’re being tested on recognizing the subject of complex sentences.</p>
<p>thnks both of u . i got it…</p>
