Question 1 Report

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

Answer Details
The correct option is "has been." Explanation: The subject of the sentence is "the man" which is singular, and the phrase "as well as the woman" is just an additional piece of information. When using the phrase "as well as" to connect two subjects, the verb should agree with the first subject which is singular in this case. Therefore, the singular form of the verb "has been" is the correct choice.
