Correct option is A
The correct answer is (a)
No improvement required.
Explanation:
The subject "Sonali as well as her brother" takes a
singular verb because the phrase “as well as” does
not make the subject plural.
Grammatical Rule Used:
· Expressions such as
“as well as”, “along with”, “together with”, “besides” do
not affect the number of the subject.
· The verb agrees with the
main subject – here, “Sonali”.
Correct sentence:
Sonali
as well as her brother is performing at the show tonight.
Example:
· The teacher, as well as the students,
was present. ✅
· (Not “were” present)
Incorrect options:
· (b) “were” implies plural – incorrect
· (c) “are” implies plural – incorrect
· (d) “have performance” – grammatically incorrect phrase
Information Booster:
Only the
main subject before "as well as" determines the verb form.
