Asked in Premeth Test 39 — BiotechnologyModerate

Not only, the students but also, their instructor --- been called to the principal's office.

Correct answer: A. has

  • A. has
  • B. have
  • C. were
  • D. was

Explanation

The correct answer is has because the construction 'Not only...but also' typically treats the closest subject as the primary subject for verb agreement. In this case, 'instructor' is singular, thus requiring the singular verb 'has'. The options 'have' and 'were' are incorrect because they are plural verbs that do not correspond with the singular subject. Although 'was' is singular, it does not fit the context of the sentence as well as 'has', which implies a more immediate action in this scenario.
