A) My collection of silver spoons<br />

and tea sets often impresses others.<br />

B) My collection of silver spoons<br />

and tea sets often impress others.<br />

Why<br />

The subject is collection, which is a singular noun, so the<br />

verb must be singular. The correct verb is impresses.<br />

Remember, the object of the preposition (silver spoons<br />

and tea sets) is never the subject of the sentence.
