The sentence that has a correct subject-verb agreement is:
A) My cousin, along with two friends, is arriving today.

A independent clause is a part of the sentence that can stand alone and a dependent one can’t it depends on the independent statement so for number one the dependent clause would be that he would be appointed the independent clause would be the manager is certain
It’s A, the narrator is being persuasive.
If you are referring to the story I think you are referring to then the answer is C.
