A
a traditional dish
B
traditional dishes
C
a common meal
D
a culinary staple
Correct Answer: B
Choice B is the best answer. The subject includes two food items ("Sushi and sashimi"), so the predicate noun must be plural ("traditional dishes").
Choice A is incorrect because "a... dish" is singular. Choice C is incorrect because "a... meal" is singular. Choice D is incorrect because "a... staple" is singular.
