Explained: “The committee, along with its two advisers, (was / were) ready to vote.”
- Find the subject: “committee”, which is singular.
- A phrase set off by “along with” does not change the subject, so ignore “its two advisers”.
- A singular subject takes “was”. Answer: was.
- Pattern to remember: “as well as”, “together with” and “in addition to” work the same way.
