Answer 2

The team captain, as well as his players, are anxious.

• We know that after third person singular number we should always use 'is'.
• After plural form, we always use 'are'.
• 'Am' is always used after the noun I.
• Thus here the noun is in plural form so, the correct verb is 'are'.
• The above sentence becomes
• The team captain, as well as his players, are anxious.
• Hence the correct option is 'are'.
