Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Subject-Verb Agreement: When a subject is joined by phrases such as "together with," "as well as," or "along with," the verb must agree with the first subject mentioned.
The Primary Subject: In this sentence, the primary subject is "The manager," which is singular.
Correction: Since the subject is singular, the plural verb "have" should be replaced with the singular verb "has."
Correct Sentence: The manager together with his staff has gone for lunch.
