Correct Answer: is going to Italy


Solution : The correct choice is the first option .

When two nouns are connected by "as well as", the verb must agree with the first subject. Since the first subject is in the singular form, the verb should also be singular.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: My wife as well as my friends is going to Italy .
