    one part of the sentence. Below the sentence are given the options containing the parts of the sentence. Choose the option which contains the error. The research paper, along with the supporting documents, were submitted to the committee before the specified deadline.

    Solution

    The subject of the sentence is ā€œThe research paperā€, which is singular. The phrase ā€œalong with the supporting documentsā€ is additional information and does not change the number of the subject. Therefore, the verb should be ā€œwas submittedā€ instead of ā€œwere submitted.ā€
