8. Not only the boy but also his friends equally guilty. (A) is (B) are (C) have (D) has​

Answer 1

Not only the boy but also his friends are equally guilty.

We have used a plural verb according to subject-verb agreement.

• The subject is plural, as there is a boy as well as his friends, so the verb used will be plural.
• 'is' is used for a singular subject.
• 'are is used for plural subject.
• Similarly, "has" "have" "was" "were" are also used according to the nature of the subject.
