Choose the correct sentence: ‘Bread and butter ___ his favorite breakfast.’

Explanation

When two nouns joined by ‘and’ refer to a single combined idea or item that is thought of as one unit, such as ‘bread and butter’ referring to a single type of simple meal, they are treated as a singular subject and take a singular verb. This differs from cases where ‘and’ joins two genuinely separate items, such as ‘Bread and cheese are on the table,’ which would take a plural verb.
