Fill in the blank in the given sentence with the most appropriate option:

Following the AC malfunction, the Professor, along with his students, ____ shifted to Block VI.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

When a subject is joined to other nouns by 'along with', the verb agrees only with the main subject. Here the main subject is the singular 'Professor', so the verb must be singular: 'was shifted'. The phrase 'along with his students' does not make the subject plural.
