Directions: In the following question, a sentence with a blank is given, followed by four options. Choose the option which best fits the blank in a meaningful way.
The criminal together with his associates __________ arrested.
Explanation:
Here the main focus is on criminal and not on his associates, thus singular verb will be used as per the singular subject.
Since the sentence is of past tense, helping verb 'was' will be the most appropriate fit to the blank.
Note- If the sentence was joined with conjunction 'and' in place of 'with' then plural verb will be used.
Hence option A is the correct answer.
