In this example, politics is only a theme; Therefore, the sentence has a singular verb. 1. A sentence or clause between the subject and the verb does not change the subject`s number. 11. Team names and music group names that are plural take plural verbs.
For example: The Yankees are in first place. The Jonas Brothers are popular. They take a singular verb if they refer to a single quantity: If the name acts as a unit, use a singular verb.

As their answer above is the first option is correct, but I read a rule that „If two individual names related to and refer to the SAME THING the verb used with them should be singular.

Since there are not only four people in the world, one in four people is more than one, making it the plural. Therefore, „are“ should be used, not „is.“ Since you have several themes in your sentence, use the plural verb.
