Show answer
Concept: A phrase like 'along with / as well as' does not change the number of the main subject.
- Main subject = The team (one unit) → singular verb.
- 'of doctors' and 'along with the intern' are only extra information.
- So 'were treating' ✗ → was treating ✓.
Trick: Cover the 'along with …' part with your finger and read again: 'The team … was treating'.
Answer: (C) were treating the sick patient
अवधारणा: 'along with / as well as' वाला हिस्सा subject की संख्या नहीं बदलता।
- असली subject = The team (एक इकाई) → singular verb चाहिए।
- 'of doctors' और 'along with the intern' सिर्फ़ अतिरिक्त जानकारी हैं।
- इसलिए 'were treating' ✗ → was treating ✓।
ट्रिक: 'along with …' वाला भाग हटाकर पढ़ें: 'The team … was treating' — गलती तुरंत दिखेगी।
उत्तर: (C) were treating the sick patient
