It must be "are", not "is".

Subject - "The last week of March and first week of Apr

The subject is plural, so it shold take a plural verb (are)
...are the times....

I like this sentence :lol:

The last week of March and first week of April is usually the time of year we see the blooming of the cherry blossom trees.

I believe that time refers back to the that "time" interval, which is The last week of March and first week of April.


Hence, IS should be correct...

Let's see what other GMATians have to say :wink:

My two cents

The last week of March and first week of April are usually the time of year we see the blooming of the cherry blossom trees.

The sentence says

A and B are C .....

where A is last week of March
where B is first week of April
where C is the time of year


Good time of the year is the last week of March and first week of April.

The last week of March and first week of April are good time of the year.

I think it refers to a single time period of two weeks, combining in 1 time frame.So verb should be "IS"
e.g. Bread and butter is a healthy breakfast

or bread and butter are healthy breakfast.

Bread and butter are 2 seprate identity, but here we are using it as Singular not plural.
Same is the case. So, verb should be "IS"
