Option 4: was attending
New: SSC Stenographer Application Form 2024 Released
Don't Miss: Month-wise current affairs
Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: was attending
Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.
In the original sentence, the error lies in the subject-verb agreement. When two nouns are connected by alongwith, the verb must agree with the first subject. The famous actor acts as the main subject, and when joined by along with , the subject remains singular so it should be followed by a singular verb.
For singular subjects, the correct verb form is "was" instead of "were".
