In this question, choose the option that best completes the gap(s).
The proprietor of our school with his administrator ------------ expected yesterday.
A. are B. is C. was D. were
Correct Answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is - was. "with" in the sentence above only introduces the "attachment" of false subjects. Other words that introduce false subjects are: as well as, in conjunction with, alongside, together with etc. Whenever any of these is used in a sentence, it is the noun or pronoun that comes before any of these false subject introducers that will determine the choice of verb to be used.
