I'm confused as to which of these four sentences is correct, in particular whether the words underlined should be made to agree in the singular or plural:
1) "The direction and purpose that my life has taken since my studies at the Institute owe a great deal to Professor E's tuition."
2) "The direction and purpose that my life have taken since my studies at the Institute owe a great deal to Professor E's tuition."
3) "The direction and purpose that my life has taken since my studies at the Institute owes a great deal to Professor E's tuition."
4) "The direction and purpose that my life have taken since my studies at the Institute owe a great deal to Professor E's tuition."
My gut feeling tells me sentence 1 is the correct one... but I'm not sure.
