A
administrators and an educator.
B
an administrator and an educator.

Correct Answer: B
Choice B is the best answer. The subject "Ms. Johnson" is singular, so the predicate noun phrase must be singular ("an administrator and an educator").
Choice A is incorrect because "administrators" is plural. Choice C is incorrect because both nouns are plural. Choice D is incorrect because "educators" is plural.
