Not only the parents but also their son _ for interview.
Correct answer: D. Has been called
- A. Has called
- B. Have called
- C. Have been called
- D. Has been called
Explanation
Parents are plural but the blank follows the noun 'son' which is singular. Hence "has" instead of "have" is the right option.The sentence refers to an act being done to the noun instead of the son doing something. Hence it will be: 'been called' instead of just 'called'

About Subject-Verb Agreement
Subject-verb agreement requires the verb to match the true subject in number and person, even when other words intervene. Questions cover collective nouns, compound subjects, indefinite pronouns, either and neither, relative clauses, quantities and inverted sentences, where proximity can falsely suggest the wrong verb.
