Answer 2

Answer:

The ‘leader’ as well as his brothers belongs to the same tribe.

Explanation:

The sentence, ‘The leader as well as his brothers belong to the same tribe,’ has only one main subject- ‘The leader’. ‘As well as’ is a coordinating conjunction that joins the leader to his brothers, thus the actual sentence is-‘The leader belongs to the same tribe.

Since the subject is singular the verb option is ‘belongs’ and not ‘belong’. The subject verb agreement in the entire sentence thus involves the use of ‘belongs’ in spite of the inclusion of his brothers as the leader’s brothers are not considered as the subject in agreement of the verb.
