You have *two* simple subjects making up a *compound* complete subject. Do you need a *plural* simple verb or a *singular* simple verb?! You might know the simple verb as the simple predicate. The verb with the s is *singular* whereas the verb without the s is *plural.*

The correct answer would be "get".

The subject is plural, so the verb must be in base form.

Hope to help,
