  • You should say which one you think is correct, and why you think it might not be!

    Any of these can be correct, depending on the context. Please edit your post to explain the situation you are trying to describe, and what you believe the correct answer is and why.

Who _____ that handsome Young man and his friend?

"that handsome Young man and his friend" are two persons then you need a plural verb. (4) "are" or (3) "had been" are correct.

When you see "and" between two single nouns, it makes them plural.

Sara and Nima are good people.

That man and this woman are engaged.
