From the words lettered A to D below each of the following sentences, choose the word or group of words as it is used in the sentence
The coach, as well as the players....given fantastic gifts last month.
A
was
B
were
C
are
D
is
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The subject of the sentence is "The coach", and the phrase "as well as the players" is an additional, non-essential phrase that does not change the singular nature of the subject. Since "The coach" is singular, the correct verb should also be singular: "was".
Thus, the correct sentence is:
"The coach, as well as the players, was given fantastic gifts last month."
