B) When two nouns refer to the same person or thing, take, singular verb, e.g.
C) When two nouns alomost identical in meaning are used in sentence, just for the sake of emphasis, we use singular verb. Example:

E ) When two nouns are joined together by besides, as vell as, and not, in addition to, like, with, together with, including, accompanied by, etc, the verb is governed by the former noun. e.g.
