discussion (Question: 44223.0 )

if we use 'is' instead of 'are'...then what is the problem?

Question:
DIRECTIONS: In the following questions some of the sentences have errors and some have none. Find out which part of a sentence has an error. If there is no error, your answer is (4) i.e. No error. 
The Principal and staff (1)/ are waiting for (2)/the chief guest.(3)/ No error (4).
Options:
A) (1) 
B) (2) 
C) (3) 
D) (4) 
Solution:

Ans: (a)  The principal & staff

It should be 'The principal & the staff', as the verb is plural (are).

As a general rule, we use a plural verb with two or more subjects when they are connected by ‘and’.
Example: A car and a bike are my means of transportation.
