标题: 求助一道GWD的题目！！！！！！！！！！！！

For many revisionist historians, Christopher Columbus has come to personify devastation and enslavement in the name of progress that has decimated native peoples of the Western Hemisphere.
- A
  
  devastation and enslavement in the name of progress that has decimated native peoples of the Western Hemisphere.
- B
  
  devastation and enslavement in the name of progress by which native peoples of the Western Hemisphere decimated.
- C
  
  devastating and enslaving in the name of progress those native peoples of the Western Hemisphere which in the name of progress are decimated.
- D
  
  devastating and enslaving those native peoples of the western Hemisphere which in the name of progress are decimated.
- E
  
  the devastation and enslavement in the name of progress that have decimated the native peoples of the Western Hemisphere.
OA：E
听说这道题很有争议，一直纠结AE，有哪位NN可以帮忙解释一下E为什么对。the devastation andenslavement 后面难道不应该用单数名词？？？

帮你找的专家回答：

The simple answer is that almost all compound subjects (including "bread and butter/cheese") are plural. The only exception would be when we're describing one thing or process with two elements:

Research and development for the new space station is taking longer than anticipated.
Gin and tonic is a popular drink.

However, unless it's 100% clear that the two things must be considered as one unit, we're not going to see this, so the default should be to make all compound subjects plural.

本来就是一道语法题
不太理解？

简单点说就是几乎所有复合主语（包括bread and butter/cheese）算复数。只有特例情况下，当我们谈论一个事情or一个包含2个元素的过程，那就是单数

Research and development for the new space station is taking longer than anticipated.
Gin and tonic is a popular drink.
上面这两个句子就是列子啊 ...第一个是研发..第二个金汤酒..都属于单数

However, unless it's 100% clear that the two things must be considered as one unit, we're not going to see this, so the default should be to make all compound subjects plural.
咋说捏，除非是100%确定2个事物必须被看做为一个整体（不常见）所以呢常规的来说，这种结构的复合主语就是复数
