Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence may have some errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If the sentence is free from error, select "No Error".
The Prime Minister along with his Cabinet colleagues (1) / have been welcomed by the Chief Minister (2) / at a formal ceremony. (3) / No Error (4)
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.
When two nouns are connected by "along with" the verb must agree with the first subject, which in this case, is the Prime Minister.
Hence, the subject " Prime Minister" is singular, the verb should also be singular. Thus, "have" should be changed to "has" to maintain the subject-verb agreement.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The Prime Minister along with his Cabinet colleagues has been welcomed by the Chief Minister at a formal ceremony."
