The children as well as their mother -- missing after the floods.
Correct answer: B. are
- A. is
- B. are
- C. was
- D. were not
Explanation
In the sentence 'The children as well as their mother are missing after the floods,' the correct verb is 'are' because it agrees with the plural subject 'the children'. The phrase 'as well as' serves to add additional information without changing the primary subject. Therefore, the plural form 'are' is needed. The other options are incorrect because 'is' and 'was' do not agree with the plural subject, and 'were not' does not fit the affirmative structure of the sentence.
