The correct answer is b. Need

So the complete sentence becomes :

Vern and Fred need a ride to work.

The subject in the sentence is plural, or more than one person, so the verb does not have the s/es affix and remains the basic verb form or V1.

The question above is related to the English grammar material, namely the Subject-Verb Agreement.

What is a Subject-Verb Agreement?

There is a rule in English grammar relating to the verb with the subject in a sentence based on the number, namely: singular or plural.

Subjects in sentences can be nouns, pronouns, gerunds, infinitives, and other constructions that act as subjects.

In the Subject-Verb agreement, there are rules when faced with a compound subject (a sentence that has two subjects) as follows :

• If a sentence has 2 or more singular and plural subjects and is connected by a coordinating conjunction, namely "and", it must use a plural verb.

• If a sentence contains two or more singular subjects linked by "or" / "nor," it must use a singular verb.

• When there is a compound subject in a sentence that includes a singular and plural noun or pronoun, the verb must come after the subject closest to the verb in the sentence. Example : The man or his siblings eat breakfast here every Tuesday.

• If the compound subject in a sentence consists of positive and negative subjects (singular or plural), the verb must follow the positive subject. Example: The sales staff but not the general manager have received their bonus.
