Subject Verb Agreement MCQ for CBSE Class-9 and Class-10
Q1. Ashok as well his brothers _________ coming today.
The correct sentence is: Ashok as well his brothers is coming today.
The main subject 'Ashok' is singular, and the phrase 'as well his brothers' does not change the number; the verb should agree with the main subject.
The verb agrees with the main subject, not with nouns that come after 'as well as'.
She, as well as her friends, is joining the party.
Q2. The boy in the bus ________ like your brother.
The boy in the bus looks like your brother.
Because a singular subject 'The boy' needs a singular verb 'looks' in the present simple tense.
A singular subject takes a verb with -s in the present simple.
The dog barks at night.
Q3. My Father, along with others, ___________ worried.
The correct answer is "was".
The main subject "My Father" is singular, and phrases like "along with others" do not make it plural, so the verb must be singular: was.
When one subject is followed by a phrase like "along with" or "together with" another, the verb agrees with the main subject.
She, along with her friends, was invited to the party.
Q4. None of the students ___________ responded.
The correct answer is "have".
None refers to people (the students), which is plural, so we use the plural verb "have".
When "none" means not any people or things, use a plural verb with a plural noun after "of".
None of the books are on the shelf.
Q5. Each of the students ________ responsible for keeping this room clean.
The correct answer is 'is'.
Because "Each" is singular, so we use the singular verb "is" even though the phrase "of the students" has many people.
With words like each, every, no one, the subject is singular and takes a singular verb.
Each of the students is present today.
Q6. That woman ____________vegetables.
That woman sells vegetables.
The subject 'That woman' is singular, so the verb in present simple tense uses -s: 'sells'.
Singular subjects take a verb with -s in the present simple (he/she/it, or a single noun).
He sells vegetables.
