Choose the appropriate word/phrase, out of the four options given below, to complete the following sentence:
Dhoni, as well as the other team members of Indian team, _____________ present on the occasion.
- Awere
- was
- Chas
- Dhave
Explanation
A phrase like 'as well as the other team members' is a parenthetical addition, not a compound subject joined by 'and' — the verb still agrees with the singular subject 'Dhoni', giving 'was'.
