Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.

My friend Meera and her mother is visiting me this weekend.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. are visiting.

  • The underlined part is grammatically incorrect.
  • In this sentence, we have two subjects: “My friend Meera” and “her mother”
  • When we have multiple subjects joined by “and,” we use the plural form of the verb. 
  • Therefore, the correct verb form should be “are visiting”.
  • The correct sentence will be: My friend Meera and her mother are visiting me this weekend.
