No substitution

are expected to arrive

are expect to arrive

are being expected to arrive

- The original sentence is "The minister, along with his team members, is expected to arrive shortly."

- Option 1: No substitution

- The sentence is grammatically correct as is.

- The subject "The minister" is singular, which is why "is" is appropriate.

- Option 2: are expected to arrive

- Incorrect because it uses "are," which does not agree with the singular subject "The minister."

- Option 3: are expect to arrive

- Incorrect due to subject-verb disagreement and the verb form "expect" instead of "expected."

- Option 4: are being expected to arrive

- Incorrect as it changes the meaning and does not match the singular subject.

- Correct Answer: No substitution
