Yeah... the asnwer is letter choice A... it makes the most sense
If there is a differnece between two subjects
What sets off appositives in the sentence is the use of the quotation mark, comma (,). This indicates that the phrase is just an added information in the sentence, and if omitted will never change the whole thought or idea of the sentence. Aside from commas, parentheses or dashes can be used as well.
The sentence with proper subject-verb agreement is B. The student as well as the teacher want to go to the museum. In this sentence, the subject is what we call a compound subject, meaning that the verb refers and agrees with more than just one singular word. The compound subject is "student" and "teacher" and they are connected by "as well as", which functions as a coordinating conjunction would. That's why the verb should conjugate in its plural form.
Option A is incorrect because the structure inside parentheses is not related to the verb and does not influence its conjugation. Options C and D have a verb in the singular form for a compound subject - that would demand a plural conjugation.
