Q11. The man with all the birds ______ on my street.

  • live
  • lives
  • are living
  • have lived
Correct Option: B  [ lives ]

Explanation: The verb agrees with the main subject ('The man'), not the noun in the prepositional phrase. 'Man' is singular so 'lives'.

Q12. Sohan as well as his brother ______ come.

  • have
  • has
  • are
  • were
Correct Option: B  [ has ]

Explanation: Phrases like 'as well as' do not make a compound subject; verb agrees with the first subject (Sohan), so singular 'has'.

Q13. The players, as well as the captain, ______ to win.

  • want
  • wants
  • is wanting
  • has wanted
Correct Option: A  [ want ]

Explanation: Intervening phrases like 'as well as the captain' do not affect the number of the verb. Subject is 'players' (plural), so 'want'.

Q14. The people who ______ next door asked me to get their mail.

  • has lived
Correct Option: B  [ live ]
