From the words lettered A to D, choose the word or group of words that best completes each of the following sentences.
The man, as well as the woman ________ arrested
In the rule of concord, 'when words such as, as well as, alongside, together with, no less than etc are used, the verb that follows would be the same with the subject of the phrase or clause, that is, the noun or the pronoun that comes before the marker of accompaniment.
'The man' is a singular noun hence a singular verb is needed.
Note that 'arrested' can function as past tense or past participle but in this context, it is a past participle.
However, 'is' is a singular verb used in the present tense, 'has' is a singular used in the perfect tense, 'have' is a singular and plural verb used in the perfect tense and 'been' is used in the perfect tense.
Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
