The proposal, together with all of the supporting documents, ____ submitted to the committee last week.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. was
- Step 1: The subject is 'proposal'; the phrase 'together with...' does not make the subject plural. Step 2. A singular subject and a past time marker ('last week') require 'was'. Answer: was. Why not the others: 'were', 'have been' and 'are' either agree wrongly with 'documents' or use the wrong tense.
