Find the incorrect part of the sentence: He as well as his brothers were present.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
When a subject is joined to another noun or pronoun by phrases like "as well as", "with", or "together with", the verb must agree with the first subject.
In this sentence, the first subject is "He", which is singular.
Because "He" is singular, the plural verb "were" is incorrect. It should be replaced with the singular verb "was".
Correct Sentence: "He as well as his brothers was present."
