Answer 1

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. The prime minister along with his Cabinet colleagues have been welcomed.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is "The Prime Minister with his Cabinet colleagues was present."

Explanation:

• In the given sentence, the subject is the noun Prime Minister. It is singular.
• The verb form, whether singular or plural, or the tense used in a sentence, depends upon the characteristics of the subject.
• Since the subject is the Prime Minister, which is singular, the form of verb used should be 'was' instead of 'were'.
• Had the sentence been, "The Prime Minister and his cabinet colleagues" ; the subject would have included the cabinet colleagues too along with the Prime Minister. Then, the correct verb would have been 'were'.

Hence, the correct sentence is, "The Prime Minister with his cabinet colleagues was present."
