Myschool this answer is wrong. 'The President, with members of his cabinet' is a singular subject. They are grouped as one. The verb is to go with IS. The answer is D
This is different from when you say, 'The President AND his members of cabinet...' The latter is only when it takes ARE
The real answer is D cause they re talkin about two or more people and not only d president so Correct your Mistake.....
The selected answer is wrong:
the rule of concord states that plural subject goes with plural verb vise vaser for Q 19
REF: ANY ENG TEXT
This is one of the reasons, why reading thoroughly before studying past questions is important...
Please correct this. The correct answer is D ✅
♀️From my knowledge of concord.......
"with the members of his cabinet" is just an additional information we are less concerned with take note of the word "with" when used
its only the noun before "with" that counts "the president" is a singular noun so it will go with a plural verb "is"
The correct sentence would be:
"The President, with his members of the cabinet, *is* visiting our establishment this afternoon."
The singular subject "President" determines the verb form "is".
