Along With and As Well As Do Not Form Plural Subjects
Beware of words that join but do not qualify as true conjunctions and thus do not form plural subjects. These words include as well as, along with, together with, not to mention, and others. Again, another example from New Fowler:
A very profitable company such as British Telecom, along with many other companies in the UK, is not prepared to pay a reasonable amount. New Fowler, p. 35.
Neither-Nor, Subject-Verb Agreement
The problem of subject-verb agreement also crops up when you use correlative conjunctions. When you use neither . . . nor to join two subjects of a clause, you will confront the problem of number. Must the verb appear in the singular or the plural? When neither . . . nor joins two singular subjects, the verb must be singular as well. Like this:
Neither the player nor the coach wants to lose the game.
The answer is C, "A clown at the fair with pink hair gave me a balloon." The phrase "with pink hair" should be switched to make the sentence "A clown with pink hair at the fair gave me a balloon," so it can properly modify "a clown".

His shirt is red; however, his shoes are black.
A colon may be used to introduce something like a list. An example:
The following is the list of people that qualified:

Explanation: Possessive nouns are nouns that show ownership or possession. Normally these words would be a singular or plural noun, but in the possessive form they are used as adjectives to modify another a noun or pronoun. Here the word “cat's” is a possessive noun.
