OA E

Hey I got moved with "and" in "the value of benefits, sick days, and paid vacation days " and presume it to be "plural subject"..

But lately after seeing the OA....."value" is the subject and it has to follow a "singular" verb.

Lesson Learnt: Dont get carried away with "of". Always give a moment when u see" of & and" to check the SV agreement.

Silly man!!
