From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the word or group of words that best completes each of the following sentences:
The Commissioner for Education with his secretary..........expected yesterday

Answer Details

The correct answer is "was". This is because "The Commissioner for Education" is a singular noun and requires a singular verb to agree with it. "Was" is the past tense of "to be" which is the appropriate verb to use in this context to indicate that the Commissioner and his secretary were expected yesterday.
