From the set of sentences given below in question, choose the sentence that is grammatically correct.

विकल्प

• An important file, along with two uniforms, are missing from the police station.

• A important file, along with two uniforms, is missed from the police station.

• An important files, along with two uniforms, are missing from the police station.

• An important file, along with two uniforms, is missing from the police station.

Answer 1

1. When we use “along with” to join one singular subject of a sentence with another noun or pronoun, the verb should be singular ‘is’ not ‘are’.
2. The word ‘‘important” will take “an’’ rather than ‘a’ because it has a vowel sound; and the noun hence will be singular ‘file’.

Therefore, 'An important file, along with two uniforms, is missing from the police station.' is the correct sentence.
