2. It is said that beauty and brains _______ not go together. (do/does)

9. Watching T.V. and playing video games _______ not interest me. (does/do)
10. You and she _______ been selected for extempore competition. (has/have)

The auxiliary, 'do' is used to form the negative of the simple present tense of verb. The verb in the given sentence, 'not go' is
the negative form of the verb in simple present tense. However, it is incomplete and can be completed using the
auxiliary, 'do'. The complete verb is: 'Do not go'. Hence, this option is correct.
