Answer:

The king with all his ministers  was present there.

Explanation:

Here we are given a simple sentence

         The king with all his ministers------ present there (was/were).

We have to choose a suitable option to fill in the blank.

• Since the helping verb will be used according to the subject.
• Here the subject is 'the King' which is 'singular'
• For singular subject the verb 'was ' will be used.
• For Plural subjects the verb 'was ' will be used.

So 'was' is the suitable verb to fill the blank.

Hence the correct sentence is

"The king with all his ministers was present there."
