Here's the quote

Quote:
There is a deep connection between the way your brain and a swarm of bees arrives at a decision

Shouldn't that be arrive instead of arrives because we are talking about the way our brain AND the way a swarm of bees arrive at a decision?

Here's the link to the article.

But isn't it read like this
"There is a deep connection between the way your brain and [the way] a swarm of bees arrive at a decision"?

Thank you

You have to work with what's given to you. the way -> arrives.

Your subject is singular, that's all you care about.

When I first read the sentence, I did do a double take bc I was expecting a plural because we're comparing the brain and the bees but....the way is the way, not the ways.

Example: The difference between a camel and a dromadaire HAS something to do with their humps
