@_bugzbunny_ , I also want that b should be the answer, but my English Teacher said that it is $a$ which is right.

anonymous · Answer

He said, Time and Tide are meant for one and the same thing here, so we are treating it as singular.
There are other examples also, for instance, we treat "Bread and Butter" also as Singular as they intend to show the same meaning..
