sentence should have parallel position (parallel) according to the grammatical
structure. If the subject is singular and the plural is connected, then the closest
subject will determine whether it is singular or plural verb.

Salah satu dari fungsi conjunction adalah untuk menghubungkan kata-
kata atau frase-frase yang memiliki fungsi sama dalam tata bahasa dalam
sebuah kalimat. Fungsi ini disebut "parallel structure". Conjunctions
yang digunakan dalam rumus ini adalah: "and, but, or, nor".
CATATAN:
Secara rinci, untuk conjunction: and, but, or, nor merupakan
"coordinating conjunctions".

Satu struktur paralel (parallel structure) bisa berisi lebih dari dua
bagian. Dalam satu rangkaiannya, tanda baca koma digunakan untuk
memisahkan masing-masing unit. Tanda baca koma yang terakhir
(sebelum conjunction) boleh digunakan boleh juga tidak. Tetapi tanda
baca koma tidak digunakan jika hanya ada 2 unit dalam satu struktur
paralel. Silahkan perhatikan contoh kalimat di bawah ini;
Steve, Mark, and Bent are coming to dinner.
Luna raised her hand, snapped her fingers, and asked a question.
The colors in that fabric are red, gold, black, and blue
