  1. Question 1

    Q1. Spot the error: "The teacher, along with her students, are going on a trip."

    • A) The teacher
    • B) along with her students
    • C) are going
    • D) on a trip

    Answer: are going

    Explanation: When a noun is joined by a phrase like "along with," "together with," or "as well as," the verb still agrees with the original subject — "the teacher" — which is singular, so "is going" is required instead of "are going."
