in B.24..

Through the years,the exquisitely subtle flavors and superb richness of Kenyan coffee have

but, in B.15,

The increased popularity and availability of televisions has

why is has, not have?
because i thought that"the exquisitely subtle flavors and superb richness" are two things, which are plural..

I cant figure it out..

please HELP me~!

THanks a million

sorry.. something wrong up there..

i mean, the popularity and availabiltiy are two nouns, which are plural,
but why it uses "has", instead of "have"?

^^

在The increased popularity and availability of televisions has中
availability of televisions的前面没有THE，所以作者显然是把popularity and availability看作是一个东西的。
如果是：
The increased popularity and the availability of televisions则后面一定要跟have。
BTW，这个题目没有打错，就是HAS。

I got it!

Thank you so much, gemj !!

but in the"the exquisitely subtle flavors and superb richness of Kenyan coffee have"

there are only one "the" in front of the sentence, which means it is sigular, but why it uses "have"?

1。flavors本身就是复数；
2。richness 前面有superb修饰，所以不能把它看作是
the （flavors and richness）
而应该是
the exquisitely subtle flavors and the superb richness
的省略形式。
个人猜测，还请指正。
