AnonymousYour prompt attention and response (is or are) greatly appreciated.This sounds like one of those cases where the phrase "X and Y" may optionally be taken as a unit, if you choose. I'm not sure.
I'd duck the issue and say "would be greatly appreciated."
But then that wouldn't work if the attention and response are already in hand.
