Question

Choose the correct alternative which will improve the part of the sentence given in quotes.
Suraj, as well as his friends ', was' arrested.

A.

Were

B.

Were being

C.

Have been

D.

No improvement

Correct option is D

The correct option is (d) No improvement.
Explanation: "As well as" does not change the subject-verb agreement, so the singular verb "was" is correct because the subject "Suraj" is singular.
Grammatical Rule used: When "as well as" is used, the verb agrees with the main subject of the sentence, which in this case is "Suraj" (singular).
Corrected sentence: Suraj, as well as his friends, was arrested.
