    • Connecting verb

    • Duct tape

    • Super glue

    • Conjunction

    Correct Answer
    A. Conjunction
    Explanation
    A compound subject is formed when two or more subjects are connected by a conjunction in a sentence. This construction allows multiple subjects to share the same verb. Identifying compound subjects is crucial in understanding sentence structure and ensuring subject-verb agreement. Conjunctions like "and," "or," and "but" are common connectors in compound subjects, emphasizing the collaborative nature of the subjects in conveying meaning.
