并列主語受every, each修飾時謂語用單數還是復數

請看兩個句子：

Every boy and girl __________ the film.

Each boy and girl __________ the film.

A. likes，likes             B. like，like               C. likes，like            D. like，likes

此題應選A。該題容易誤選B，認為主語部分含有 boy 和girl 兩部分，應該用復數。其實當兩個并列主語受到 each，every，no等詞修飾時，其謂語通常要用單數：

Each boy and (each) girl was in white. 每個男孩和女孩都穿著白衣服。

Every man and woman was interested in it. 每一個男人和女人都對此感興趣。

Each book and each paper was in proper place. 每本書和每張報紙都擺放得井井有條。

Every man and (every) woman in the village knows this. 這個村子里的男男女女都知道這事。

Every boy and every girl is given an apple. 每個男孩和每個女孩都被發給一個蘋果。

No teacher and (no) student was present. 沒有一個老師和學生出席。

He listened carefully，but no sound and no voice was heard. 他仔細地聽，但是沒聽到一點聲音。
