    Question

    Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence.
    The politician, along with the newsmen, are expected shortly.

    A.

    has expected shortly

    B.

    were expected shortly

    C.

    is expected shortly

    D.

    am expected shortly

    Correct option is C

    The correct substitution of the highlighted segment is (c) "is expected shortly." The verb in the sentence should agree with the main subject "politician," which is singular.
    The phrase "along with the newsmen" does not affect the verb form, thus "is expected" is correct. Grammatical rule used: The verb must agree with the main subject, not with the nouns in prepositional phrases. Example: The CEO, along with her assistants, is expected to arrive at noon.
