Explanation:

- The subject of the sentence is "The captain," which is singular. The phrase "with the members of the team" is additional information and does not change the singular form of the subject.

- The verb should agree with the main subject, which is "The captain."

- Therefore, the verb should be in singular form.

- Given this explanation:

- Option 1: "are" - Incorrect. "Are" is plural and does not agree with the singular subject "The captain."

- Option 2: "was" - Correct. Matches the singular subject and tense.

- Option 3: "is" - Incorrect. Although singular, it is not in the past tense.

- Option 4: "were" - Incorrect. "Were" is plural and does not match the singular subject.
