Answer:

Neethu, as well as her friends, are honored.

Explanation:

'Is', 'are', 'am' and 'was' are the primary auxiliary verbs. 'Is' is used with singular subjects while 'are' is used with the plural subjects. In the above sentence the subject is 'Neethu' and her friends which are plural, hence, the auxiliary verb to use in the sentence is 'are'.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer to the question among all the options given is [ b. are ]

Neethu as well as her friends are honored.

Explanation:

This is because the sentence is given in simple past tense and here the subject is Neethu and her friends.

So the subject is plural, hence “are” is the correct option. Simple past, past simple and past indefinite are the three forms of the past tense in modern English and it basically used to describe the past statements.
