    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The subject of the sentence is “The research paper”, which is singular. The phrase “along with the supporting documents” is additional information and does not change the number of the subject. Therefore, the verb should be “was submitted” instead of “were submitted.”
