Correct Answer: Mr. Ram Kumar, the cashier are
Solution : The correct answer is the second option.
The error is in the subject-verb agreement . The subject "Mr. Ram Kumar, the cashier" is a singular entity, and the verb should also be singular.
The subject consists of two parts, i.e., Mr. Ram Kumar and the cashier. Even though there are two elements in the subject, they are treated as a single entity and should be considered singular because they refer to the same person, Mr. Ram Kumar, who is also the cashier. So, the singular verb "is " should be used in the place of the plural verb " are ".
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Mr. Ram Kumar, the cashier, is on temporary withdrawal from service."
