A writer would use a singular verb for the subject in option **a. the head of government and state**.
The phrase "the head of government and state" refers to one singular entity, despite the conjunction "and." Therefore, it would take a singular verb (e.g., "The head of government and state is addressing the nation").
The other options involve plural subjects, which would take plural verbs.
