Please look at this English text...

A surge in new car sales and a drop in insurance claims suggest....

or

A surge in new car sales and a drop in insurance claims suggests ....


which is correct ? Which one I should use ?

My understand says I should use the second one ...because 'A surge' is singular ...so 'suggests' should fit here.

What do you say ? Can you please comment on this ?

@tintin,
It appears that you have stumbled upon one of the many smoke screens the Obama administration "leaks" out to the liberal media.

he;s asking about the grammar, H2Oboy, Maroon. It's a compound subject, tintin, so use "suggest".

Obama Motors faces a huge recall.

Speaking of cars... the NHTSA reportedly opens probe into 6.2M GM vehicles over corroded brake lines.

I wonder if Obama will be hauled in for a congressional hearing on what he knew and when he knew it?
