Correct Answer
A
Explanation
The sentence is correct as: The man as well as his sons plays in the band. The rule of concord states that if two or more subjects are connect ed using a subordinating conjunc tion, the first subject is expectedly of higher status than others, and thus controls the verb of the sentence. In the given sentence, “The man” is the first subject, as well as is the subordinator used in linking the first subject to the second subject “his sons”. Since the first subject is a singular one, the verb must then be a singular verb. “Plays” is a present singular verb. Other examples: The man with his two sons was involved in the accident
