Option 4: The boy, as well as
Correct Answer: his friends, were
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
The segment that contains a grammatical error is, "his friends were".
The error is the subject-verb agreement. In this case, the subject is "the boy", which is singular. The use of "were" (plural form) after "his friends" is incorrect. The correct verb form to agree with the singular subject "the boy" should be was.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: The boy, as well as his friends, was absent from the class when the teacher came.
