Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
The phrase 'Every boy and girl' is treated as a singular subject because 'every' makes the entire phrase singular. Therefore, a singular verb is required.
The correct verb form is 'has' because it is the singular form that agrees with the subject. The phrase 'has to attend' is the proper construction for a singular subject followed by an infinitive verb.
Using 'have' or 'are' would be incorrect because they are plural verbs and do not agree with the singular subject. 'Is' is a singular verb but does not correctly pair with 'to attend' in this context.
