Supriya as well as her friends have gone of a trekking expedition.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. has gone on.
If two subjects are joined by expressions like 'along with', 'as well as', 'in addition to', 'besides' etc. then the verb that follows them agrees with the first subject.
In the given sentence, the first subject is Supriya. So, the singular form of the verb 'has' should be used.
'On' will be used because it means in the course of.
Thus, 'have gone of' should be replaced by 'has gone on.'
Correct statement: Supriya as well as her friends has gone on a trekking expedition.
